About Blackboard |
|
|
| What is Blackboard? |
| Blackboard is an easy-to-use Web-based course delivery system. Faculty and students can share content and communicate with each other. Some courses will use discussion boards, online assessments, email, and more. The instructor decides which tools and features to use. Many will include the class syllabus and course documents. Others may conduct most or all of the course online. |
|
| Blackboard News and Information |
We send information about Bb to Faculty by e-mail and through FacNet.
Urgent or important messages for Students and Faculty are placed on all class announcement pages for a week or less. |
