6 2. Enter new instructor account information. Note: The Institution/District field is currently connected to a database of all U.S. 2-4 year Higher Education institutions, as well as K12 Districts. When you begin to type the name of your school/district, first check to see if it comes up on the list and select from there. If not, type the full name and that will be saved to the database. CourseSites Quick Start Guide - 6
7 2a. As an alternative, you can sign up using credentials from popular web services, such as Facebook and Twitter. To do so, clicking on the icon of your favored service, enter your credentials for that service, and complete the subsequent account creation page. Note: This registration process uses the Open ID protocol, which helps lower the number of accounts you have across the web. Personal information is not shared with these services from Blackboard, nor from these services to Blackboard. The systems conduct a "handshake" to verify your credentials and then Blackboard let's you in if your account information matches. 3. Complete the CAPTCHA field, review and agree to the Terms of Use, and click Sign Up. Yes, it's that easy! CourseSites Quick Start Guide - 7

Follow the steps below to create a course with your choice of Course Structures and Themes! 1. At the Add a New Course page, first enter the General Course Information.
