2. Click the globe icon at the upper left corner on the Bb9 log in page

Then the system messages will be written in English. However, this change does not affect the course contents prepared by teachers.

Although all teachers can create Bb9 courses, in reality, some teachers do. Therefore there might not be a course for your class.

Prior to Bb9, WebCT has been used as the online learning support system in Hiroshima University. It still works as of March 2014. It has almost similar function to Bb9. Therefore some teachers may not distinguish between them and may call Bb9 WebCT.

See the documents, which you think you may not need to print, on Bb9. Or you can print them with 2-up, which means two pages in a sheet. With 2-up or 4-up, you can save costs.
