Quick Introduction to Some Handy Tools
Some of these tools may not be used in your course or may be temporarily hidden. If you have any questions about their availability, contact your instructor.
Quick Navigation of your whole course
From any page, use the folder view of your course to find anything quickly! Click the "plus" (+) to open a folder.
Get Announcements and Discussion Postings by email
Announcements
Course Announcements are automatically are sent to your UNM preferred email account.
"Subscribe" to Discussion Postings
If you are frustrated by checking to see if your peers have posted to a discussion forum, get those postings by email.
- Look inside the forum for the Subscribe button.
- If you do not see the Subscribe button, ask your instructor to turn it on.
- Ask your instructor to include a link to the posting so you can go right to that forum to reply, from your email.
See updates for all of your courses without entering a course
Just login to UNM Learn and click your name in the upper right corner. The number of updates will appear in red next to your name. You will be able to see new announcements, grades, discussion postings and the calendar.
See due dates on the Calendar or in My Grades
Clickable items in the Calendar will take you to the assignment, test or discussion forum that has that due date.
Due dates also appear in My Grades. If you are not seeing due dates, ask your instructor to add them.
Know how you are being graded - the syllabus and rubrics
SYLLABUS: Read it carefully. Be mindful what percentage all course activities are worth.
- For example, you may have been working really hard to get the highest score on your quizzes but you checked the syllabus to find that quizzes are only worth 10% of your overall grade. Where should you be spending the bulk of your time?
RUBRICS: If your instructor grades with rubrics - look at them before beginning your work.

Use My Grades to keep track of your upcoming work
The My Grades page can be confusing, but if you use the Filters at the top of the page, you can isolate your work by whether what has been Graded, Submitted or what is Upcoming.
Use the Blackboard Mobile Learn app
The Blackboard Mobile Learn App is free to download, but you must buy a Blackboard License to access your classes. Use of the Blackboard Mobile Learn App is not a requirement for UNM Online Courses.
