Blackboard Learn

  • Blackboard Learn is a web-based learning environment. In an online course, students login to a virtual classroom (http://learn.unt.edu) to complete lessons and other activities. 
  • It is recommended that you post to Blackboard any handouts, assignments, or other materials you want to provide to students (i.e., instead of making paper copies of everything, you need to post these materials to Blackboard for students to download).  MS Word files are easy to post and download.  Students may also submit assignments to you via Blackboard if you prefer.  
  • View information on Blackboard, resources to help navigate it, and a survival guide for teaching online courses at http://clear.unt.edu/teaching-online
  • The course content will be added by the department. Prior to the first day of the term, go through and update/check all dates, deadlines, and website links. 
  • In cases of traditional courses that employ Blackboard as a resource, the role of Blackboard in the class should be outlined in the syllabus and explained to the class.
