How do I find an organization or community in Blackboard?

How do I find an organization or community in Blackboard?

You may be invited to join an organization that is hosted on our Blackboard site. Communities function like courses. Organizations behave like courses and contain tools that enable participants to communicate efficiently, deliver assessments or leverage third-party integrations like YuJa. Many organizations are also hosted through myUMBC and these cannot use assessments or third-party tools.
