Blackboard Learn is the college's learning management system (LMS) and it is used
                              to provide faculty and students with an online environment for online and hybrid courses
                              as well as to supplement the learning experience within face-to-face courses. Blackboard
                              Learn integrates with ϳԹ’s Banner student information system to automatically provide
                              "private course spaces" for each class taught at the college. Student enrollments
                              and faculty assignments are also handled automatically by the Banner integration.
                              Blackboard Learn is accessible from the college’s  portal. Once inside of Blackboard Learn, faculty and students will see a list of
                              courses, organizations and other resources that are available to them. 
This technology enhances the experience a student finds at ϳԹ by fostering student
                              interaction in a variety of ways. An instructor can choose to use Blackboard Learn
                              to display and deliver content, communicate and interact with students, provide online
                              assignments, and assess students’ work. Blackboard Learn can also be used to provide
                              department or group space for many activity areas – including teaching, research and
                              public service. 
Blackboard Learn supports many types of media for creating and interacting with engaging
                              content such as:
- Audio and video, for example YouTube videos
- Discussion, blogging, and journalism tools for interacting with students and encouraging them to engage with the content
- A powerful, interactive grade center and assessment tools that enable instructors to record and assess students’ work in a variety of ways
