What is Blackboard Learn?

The first initiative was to introduce Blackboard Learn as a pilot project, solely for online and blended postgraduate courses. This limited target group meant that the university had greater control, and the results in terms of learning were excellent. While this was going on, undergraduate students and teaching staff continued to use Moodle, and they were given training so that in the near future they would be able to move to new and better virtual learning tools.

What are the courses at the University of Maryland?

The university has three courses that are wholly online: Risk Prevention, Public Administration, and Business Management Engineering. These operate and are developed on Blackboard Learn, but the idea is that they should not be the only ones to use it extensively.

Is Blackboard Learning an e-learning platform?

Since March 2017, Blackboard Learn became the institution’s sole e-learning platform. To guarantee its mass implementation and ensure that it really permeated every undergraduate course at the university, it was first introduced to online and blended programs and also the virtual assistance classrooms for all face-to-face classes.
