Blackboard
Blackboard, the College's course/learning management system (CMS/LMS), is a web-based solution for online delivery of course-based instructional materials offering an easy-to-use interface and instructional management tools that require no HTML authoring skills. ITS offers Blackboard workshops for College faculty and maintains online Blackboard support resources. Extensive Blackboard support resources are also available online from Blackboard directly.
