What is Blackboard?

Blackboard is an exciting and dynamic educational tool used to enhance teaching and learning. You may use Blackboard to view or post grades, have a discussion using the bulletin board, collaborate with a group, or submit/receive an assignment. There are many exciting features in Blackboard and we have training and how-to sheets available to help you discover and work with them.
