Video - Avoid Timeout Message on Blackboard

To work in your Blackboard course as long as you wish without seeing a timeout message, (especially when you are taking an online test that may last more than half an hour), you are recommended log out myCTState after you are on Blackboard.

1. After you have logged on to MyCTState, click on the Blackboard link to enter Blackboard system. As soon as you see the Institution Page, click on the myCTState tab and go back to MyCTState window. Go to the Account icon (at the upper right corner) and click on the Sign Out link (at the bottom) to exit out myCTState. You may close myCTState window entirely.

2. Then you switch back to Blackboard window. Now you are safe to work on Blackboard without seeing a time out message.

If you have any difficulty logging on to Blackboard, go to Not Able to Log on for more information.
