Online@UT "Show Me" Files
The Online@UT "show me" files allow you to watch videos that include step by step instructions for navigating within the Online@UT environment and using many of the account's features and tools. There are two ways you can use the videos. First, you can watch them, then later practice these activities within your own Online@UT account. Alternatively, you can complete the activities while watching the video. Just pause the video if you are following along while working in your own account. For additional information about Online@UT or to log into your account, please go to http://online.utk.edu.
Each of the videos below focuses on a specific topic in the Online@UT environment. The play time is listed with the topic description. Click on the Player title at the top of a column if you need to download a player. The relevant page numbers from the Blackboard 6.0 Student Manual are also noted in the last column if you prefer text resources. (If you choose to print the text, please make sure you print only the pages you are interested in - the manual is 161 pages long).
