Using Blackboard-WebTutor

Accessing Assignments with WebTutor

This course takes full advantage of one of the textbook publisher's supplementary material specifically created for this course and for use in Blackboard™.

The first time you log into your Blackboard™ course and click on the Assignments link you will be asked for an access key code. Once you have entered the code it will be tied to your Blackboard™ userid and you won't have to enter the access code again.

The screen below depicts the Student Access Key prompt within Blackboard™. This is the ONLY prompt that is used in the Blackboard system to request that a student enter their course access key. The student MUST see this prompt in order to enter the course access key and view publisher course content.

If you see some other prompt, or attempt to enter the access key using a different interface than the one above, you will not be able to access the course content -- most likely in such a case, you are being asked for a different type of pass code or key that might be needed in the course.

Packaged with your textbooks should be a "WebTutor on Blackboard" card similar to the image below that will have the name, edition, and copyright year of your textbook printed on the outside cover. When you open this card on the inside you will see instructions for its use and a 12-digit Access Key. This is the access key that you should enter when prompted.

If you are sharing your textbook with another student you will have to purchase a separate access code so you will both have access to the course content or if you are unable to find your Access Key Code card, please contact the CDE bookstore at 479-4725 or 479-4726 or 1-800-277-8060.

If you have Technical issues with the access code, please go to the publisher's web site and submit a help request. They can be found at webtutor.thomsonlearning.com/.
