The training resources are helpful as you start your online experiences and learn about how to use your LMS.

However, if you are experiencing technical issues, a 24/7 HelpDesk is available for technical support for Blackboard. You have the options to call, email or chat based on your preference of communication.  Information about the HelpDesk is located:

  1. On the main login page,
  2. On the MyUMassAmherst page within Blackboard,
  3. Within your Blackboard course under “Help & Resources” on your course menu.

If you need technical support for Moodle, UMass IT is available to assist. See information on how to contact IT and their availability at this link.
