MY EXPERIENCE NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCESS BLACKBOARD LEARN

I was denied access to blackboard learning due to difficulty in exchanging naira for dollar

so I can complete my tuition fee due to the economic recession in Nigeria. This was so

frustrating and hectic for me because I missed out on a lot of class activities for two weeks

which was a very long time. After all, now I have a lot of accumulated assignments and projects

which I need to submit. It’s overwhelming for me and this made me emotionally down.

I developed communication skills with peers as I kept communicating with my classmates via

Whatsapp so that I can be updated with class activities in which the network in my country

hindered my communication with peers as a result of bad network signals. I felt left out at a

point due to my non-participation in-class activities due to difficulty in completing my tuition

payment, but on the other hand, this made me stronger and courageous as I now see solutions

in every problem in life. With God all things are possible and what God cannot do does not exist.

Keeping in touch with my classmates helped me to be updated with class activities which

helped to calm my emotions and not to feel rejected.

I had my tuition fee in naira but I was faced with the challenge of exchanging naira for a dollar

due to the economic situation in my country Nigeria which led to the scarcity of dollars, a very

frustrating experience.

I plan to open a domiciliary account so I can fund it with dollars to avoid a delay in payment of

my tuition fee because I don’t wish to pass through this trauma anymore.

I was surprised and confused when I was blocked from accessing blackboard learning because

I initially paid 5000dollar which was above 70% of my tuition fee for the semester and I also

notified the school via mail that I had difficulty making payment. This made me very sad, hurting

my feelings the most.

I discovered that I am privileged and opportune to study in Canada because there are lots of

people that do not have this privilege and opportunity to study outside Nigeria because they

cannot afford the tuition fee.


Advocate, I can advocate for clients passing through my experience by writing to the institution

for a grace period to allow the individual to make payment  to avoid blocking,
