Educational Technology: Integrated Tools
As a full-featured learning management system, Blackboard includes modules for creating content, working with assignments, giving tests, facilitating online discussions, as well as grading and course management.
While Blackboard provides many features in these areas, we have integrated purpose-specific tools to support a wide variety of teaching and learning activities. You can read more about these tools in this section of the website and find links to supporting documentation to help you get started.
