Blackboard

The Blackboard Academic Suite is a course management and learning system chosen by Wayne State faculty in 1999 for its full features and ease of use. This Web-based course system delivers all or part of many regularly scheduled University courses; provides a secure location on the Web for course materials, e-Portfolios, and storing and managing files; includes tools for creating and delivering online assessments and surveys and for storing student performance results; enhances teaching and learning; and increases communication and collaboration among students and faculty. For a summary of what Blackboard has to offer you, see Major Blackboard Learning System Capabilities for Faculty at http://computing.wayne.edu/blackboard.
