Blackboard

Overview

Blackboard is a web-based course management learning system that instructors can use to organize course content. Instructors can manage the content to provide students with supplemental materials in a blended course format or full-course activities such as blogs, journals, and assignments for an online class. There are many tools such as the discussion boards, virtual chat and classroom, self and peer assessment which allow for increased communication and collaboration.

Related Info: One of the newest additions to Blackboard is Blackboard Mobile—a tool for interacting with Blackboard content on a device from any location. The app is designed primarily for student use, as there are limitations for course design and grading for faculty.
