Leverage Blackboard

Blackboard Learn is Boston University’s primary learning management system (LMS). Blackboard instructors can post course content, make announcements, send messages, create online assessments, and facilitate online discussions. By managing all course materials online, instructors make learning accessible to students at all times and in all locations.

Blackboard support and teaching guidance are available to BU faculty and graduate student instructors.
