Blackboard is a course management system that may be used 24/7 to supplement classroom activities. Faculty members may choose among a variety of Blackboard features. Typically, Blackboard may be used to email a class, host a class discussion, develop online quizzes, calculate student grades, make an announcement, provide website links, and post course documents. For Blackboard training and support - or to have a Blackboard course shell created - contact Debi Griffin, our Blackboard Administrator.
