A new ASU Student Help module is now available for all Blackboard courses! The new ASU Student Help Module offers Live Chat with friendly Blackboard team members 24/7, 365 days a year. When students engage the live chat, a help ticket is automatically created providing a record of the technical difficulty and when it occurred.

The new ASU Student Help Module allows instructors to stop being the first point of contact when students have technical difficulties.

The new ASU Student Help Module is available in the HELP tab on the Blackboard home page.
