Hi, I have used blackboard to take some graduate level classes. Parts of the system worked well, and others did not. At the place where I had to submit assignments, it opened in a new window, and that wouldn't work. The lectures were streamed via video, and that wouldn't work. I was able to view assignments and download the material. If it was in doc format I could read it, but some was in PDF so could not read it on the BN. So this is a case where the computer works better, but parts work.

It should work with your bn if it works with your pc-- but I don't know because I don't have the bn. I hope this has helped somewhat.
