Blackboard Learn is a management system
that :
• teachers can use to deliver course
content
• communicate with students and parents
• enable student interaction with teachers
and students
• provide online assignments and
assessments
My Blackboard
Blackboard Learn is the premier platform for delivering learning content, engaging learners,
and measuring their performance. The goal is to increase the impact of education by
transforming the experience.
Course Content
The Content of a course is made up of the folders, files, text, images, media, links, tests, and
interactive tools assembled and organized by Class Builders and Teachers.
Learning Modules
Learning Modules are used to package and present content and allow teachers to organize
related class materials in a Table of Contents. All types of content, such as items,
assignments, and tests can be included in a Learning Module. Learning Modules enable
students to follow a structured path for progressing through content.
Grade Center
The Blackboard Learn Grade Center is a dynamic and interactive tool. The Grade Center can
record data, monitor student progress, communicate information to students, parents,
administrators, and other stakeholders. It is also a valuable tool to assist in making informed
decisions to take action to promote student and institutional progress.
Performance Dashboard
The Performance Dashboard aggregates notifications for newly posted content, items ready
for grading, late submissions, and customized alerts about course activities.
Notification Dashboard
The Notifications Dashboard displays notifications that have links to class items or class
information that have been changed, submitted, created, or that have impending due dates.
This allows the user to view all of the pertinent, changed information from a class.
Early Warning System
The Early Warning System creates rules that warn users of poor performance based on
attendance or Grade Center items.
Adaptive Release
Adaptive Release controls the release of content to users based on a set of rules created by
the teacher. The rules may be related to availability, date and time, individual users, group
membership, scores or attempts on any Grade Center item, calculated columns in Grade
Center, or review status of an item in the Class.
Plagiarism Prevention
SafeAssign teaches students to properly cite their resources as their assignments are
submitted and verified against online databases and any materials in the Blackboard
community’s global database.
