Administrators manage the Discussion Boards that appear on the Community common area from the Manage Discussion Board page. Community common area Discussion Boards typically include boards for posting messages that may interest the entire institution.
Blackboard recommends including a Discussion Board for online learning to serve as a forum for Students and Instructors to discuss best practices.
Example: A higher education institution may include a ride Discussion Board to share carpooling information, or housing Discussion Board to find out who is looking for a roommate and who is looking for housing.
Click Discussion Boards from the Organizations section of the System Control Panel.
