On May 5th, the newest version of our Learning Management System (LMS) will go live.  Here are some more examples of what’s in store:

Blackboard Collaborate Integration

Blackboard Learn and Blackboard Collaborate integrate seamlessly to provide an effective blend of synchronous, asynchronous, and mobile capabilities that expand options for learning and collaboration.

• All Blackboard Collaborate web conferencing sessions appear in the Blackboard Learn Calendar, giving students and instructors quicker access.

A Completely Rebuilt Calendar

Dramatic improvements have been made to the Blackboard Calendar. It now does all the things you’d expect from a modern calendar and more.

You can add personal events, and export to third party calendars like Outlook or Google Calendar. Course items created with due dates are automatically added to your calendar. Want to move an item? Simply drag and drop.

You can also personalize your view of the calendar. Filter by course, apply colors and labels, set up a category for personal appointment and view by day, week or month.
