Log In Instructions for UVa Email, WebAssign, Blackboard, and
Horizon-Wimba
UVa Email
You must activate your UVa email since all correspondence will be
through your UVa email address. You will be automatically assigned a
username and password for your UVa email after you have registered for
Phys 605. Please click here
for instructions on setting up your UVa email account.
WebAssign
After I get confirmation from the School of Continuing and
Professional Studies that you have registered, I will set up a user
name and password on WebAssign for you. I will notify you by your
personal email and you will be able to log on to WebAssign. You then
must learn how to submit homework by taking the "test" on Webassign
that teaches you how to use the system. Click here to log on to WebAssign. Now
click on the red Log in button on the left of the page.
I have changed your previous usernames to conform to your UVa email.
Your
username is now the same as your UVa email username and I set your
password to the same as your username. You may reset your password
after you logon.
Example of username and password for WebAssign:
UVa email: jas2g@virginia.edu
WebAssign username: jas2g
Institution: virginia
Password: jas2g
Blackboard
After you have activated your email address, you must obtain your
username and password to use features of Blackboard at UVa. Blackboard
will be used as a discussion board/listserve for discussion
about homework problems and lecture. Please click here to logon to Blackboard. Then
click on the Login
in the upper left hand corner of the page. Your Blackboard username is
the same as your UVa email username. Your password is the first initial
of first name, first initial of last name, first three digits of SSN,
and 4 digit birthday.
Example of username and password for Blackboard:

Introduction
In order to participate in the audio chat room, you will need:

Preparing for the session
It is essential that you run the Horizon Wimba Wizard at a least
a day in advance of our meeting time. The Wizard ensures that your
computer is technically prepared to use Live Classroom. It guides you
through a series of tests and downloads corresponding with different
technical requirements. You will only need to run the Wizard once. It
will take ten to fifteen minutes.
You can access the Wizard here: http://liveclassroom.horizonwimba.com/wizard/launcher.cgi
You should also review the participant overview, which can be found
