What Is Blackboard?
Blackboard is a browser-based learning management system (LMS). Using an LMS, your
instructors can provide course content in electronic format and hyperlinks to resources
found on the Internet. Homework assignments, quizzes, and tests can be provided through
the LMS, and your work can be sent to your instructor via LMS. You can check your grades,
send messages to your classmates, and post messages on the course discussion boards.
Of course, each instructor might choose a different combination of LMS features for use in
his or her courses. Check your course syllabus to find out which features are used in
your class.
