If you are not aware MCC used to use a portal provided by Blackboard. The college has decided to change portals, so this past summer when the contract for the portal with BB expired the college created a temporary portal which looks identical to the naked eye except that you have to log in to every single course in which you use BB. I know that this will cause a great deal of frustration for those of you who use BB for most courses that you teach.
My recommendation to circumvent this situation is to try and use one of two browsers.
- Internet Explorer 7
- Mozilla Firefox
These browsers have tabs which means you can keep several sites open in one window.
Here is a demonstration of how to do that using IE 7
