The Blackboard team has made several updates to our Blackboard environment and the Humber Blackboard Template. Come and see what Blackboard now has to offer, such as the ability to embed HTML5 audio/video files, and updates to the template including a section dedicated to tech spec and Humber policies. Using the Humber Template can help with student satisfaction and online quality. Maximizing Blackboard’s new features can enhance the overall teaching and learning experience.
The new Blackboard environment comes with a host of tools that enable faculty to track student success/engagement, create rules and warning notifications, track individual content areas and forums as well as monitor individual document usage rates. Learn how Blackboard’s reporting tools can help you keep track of student engagement and help initiate critical conversations with your students.
