I hope Blackboard will work well for you as your skill develops. If you need assistance, there is contextual online help (at the top right of the menu bar) as well as Butte College's own Blackboard-certified trainers Chris Palmarini and Dave Stephens (click on the link on the home page that says "Help and Other Resources" for more on the support we offer).
