I've lost my course menu. All I can see is the course home page.

If you visit a Blackboard site and discover that nothing looks right -- that all you see is the announcements or the "home page" for the site -- then probably what has happened is that your left column, with the main menu, has been minimized.

Look in the far left margin of the browser window, about 2" down, for a small ">" icon. Click it to restore the left column, which includes the main (green) course menu and if you're an instructor the control panel for the site.

It's a bit like a sliding window. In the normal state the window is open and you can look to see the left column in Blackboard, but you can close the window to make more space for the main part of the blackboard display (by clicking the "<" between the course menu and the page content), then reopen it as above. Blackboard remembers your setting, and uses it next time you log in.
