Blackboard
All courses for the current semester have a Blackboard site.
How It Works
Blackboard integrates with MySuffolk to provide a space for each course taught each semester. It handles student enrollments and faculty assignments automatically.
A fully functional course space, called a “shell,” provides tools for displaying content, interacting with students, and assessing students’ work. Blackboard supports various media for creating engaging content, such as:
- Audio and video, for example YouTube videos and Panopto, for enriched lectures
- Discussion and journaling 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 many ways
