What is Blackboard
Blackboard, (abbrieviated as "Bb"), is a software program used for online delivery of course material. Blackboard allows instructors to put their syllabus, lecture notes, PowerPoint presentations, and assignments online for students to access at anytime. The program also includes interactive features such as discussion boards and a virtual chat room.
