Blackboard
Blackboard is
the recently adopted U of C course management system standard, offering
a ‘virtual classroom’ for teaching and learning.
Using Blackboard, faculty can enhance student learning by publishing supplemental course materials, providing tools for on-going dialogue outside of class time, bringing the power of the web to course design, and delivering courses to remote locations.
Blackboard features include:
- threaded discussion boards
- group project organization
- on-line test/quiz functionalities
- electronic assignment submission
Blackboard has gained popularity in use by both instructors and students. The Teaching & Learning Center assists in the adoption and ongoing use of blackboard by providing consultations and training sessions for instructors.
