Chapter 6 - Blackboard Learning System Common areas

 

Overview

The Blackboard Learning System common areas contain content specific to the institution and user. The Administrator customizes the appearance and features of each area to present a robust, individualized learning environment to each user. Within the Blackboard Learning System, there are four core areas; the My Institution tab, the Courses tab, the Community tab, and the Services tab. System Administrators also have the option of adding tabs specific to their institution.
