What is Blackboard?

Blackboard is courseware - web based software that is an on-line extension of the classroom. It can contain syllabi, readings, assignments, links and other information that your Professors may post to it. Blackboard is optional; it may or may not be used in a course. Your Professors will tell you if they use Blackboard for a particular course and what method they have set for you to enroll in the course.

Are We Still Using Blackboard?

Yes. We will be using Blackboard at least through 2008-2009 academic year, though we will be converting to Moodle as our LMS over the next two years.
