Overview
Overview
Blackboard is the college's Learning Management System (LMS) and functions as the central location where faculty can post instructional materials, assessments, and learning activities. Students also access courses in Blackboard to view this material, interact with classmates, and complete online assessments. The resources on this page will support faculty in meeting the usage requirements of the college LMS which are outlined within the LMS Administrative Standards Policy.

These resources will help you get started with your Blackboard Ultra course as you start your design. Remember to "chunk" your content into modules to promote cognitive presence (i.e., clear instructions with curated content) and avoid cognitive overload (i.e., giving too much information at once is confusing for students).

Users can request multiple Blackboard DEV Shells as they begin to prepare or experiment with new course materials.
