Blackboard

As a USFSM faculty member you will use the Blackboard Course Management System to provide materials to your students. Using this software you can provide a one-stop destination for students to access all coursework, forever eliminating the "I didn't know I was supposed to do that" excuse.

While you have the freedom to structure your Blackboard course how you like, we provide some suggestions and best practices to give students a consistent experience across courses.

If this is your first time using Blackboard, please view the orientation video to get started.

If you have questions, see the tutorial videos below. If they do not cover your question, email us and we will assist you.
