Introduction to Blackboard
The teaching and learning materials in Blackboard are delivered to students through a Blackboard course. Each course contains content specific to the enrolled cohort of students and is usually associated with a particular faculty or department.
The content, enrollments, and administration of courses in Blackboard are the responsibility of the associated Faculty or Department.
For help and guidance of the best pedagogy of how to build your course, which tools to use and when, we recommend contacting your Faculty Ed-Tech Lab.
