Using the knowledge and power of Blackboard’s network of educational users, Scholar will make it easier for instructors and students to find relevant resources on the Internet for courses and research. By storing and sharing associated information with each resource such as tags, disciplines, other users who have tagged and more, Scholar will allow users to evaluate the resources and find the most relevant and reliable. How do I get started?Scholar is available from within the Tools area of any course and organization as well as the Scholar tab above. The first time you use Scholar, you will be directed to the Scholar Account Creation form. Your name and email address will be pre-populated in the form but you can make any necessary changes. You will need to select a Desired Scholar Login name and a Desired Scholar Password. Scholar Login names are for life, so they should be selected carefully. The user can not change their Scholar Login name after creation. We strongly recommend that you DO NOT USE YOUR NETID PASSWORD FOR YOUR SCHOLAR PASSWORD. Individuals can retrieve their Scholar Passwords providing they enter a valid email address and provide a Password Hint. Passwords and Password Hints can be changed by the user after creation. After account creation, everytime an individual clicks on a link or tab to Scholar, inside the learning management system, they will be seamlessly authenticated through to Scholar.
