What is Blackboard? Welcome to Blackboard, Wichita State University's Learning Management System (LMS). An LMS is an online learning environment that supports face-to-face, hybrid, flipped, and online instruction. Unlike an unprotected website environment, an LMS like Blackboard provides a FERPA compliant space for student learning.
Logging Into the System. After you have registered with Wichita State as a faculty or student you will be given a myWSU ID number. You should login to the Blackboard homepage by logging in to mywsu.wichita.edu . Please note that the myWSU portal will "time out" after 30 minutes. Your Blackboard session may be affected by that timeout.
Blackboard Ultra is the New Blackboard. Wichita State is transitioning from the original Blackboard Learn learning management system to Blackboard Ultra from now through December 2022. Until this transition is complete, students will likely see classes in both interfaces. Come here for information about how to do tasks in Blackboard Ultra.
Possible classroom components include readings, research (library and Internet), streaming video, virtual labs, animation-based activities and charts.
A proctored exam is taken under the observation of an approved person (proctor), usually at a testing facility. If your test is not proctored but is administered within Blackboard, then a link to your exam will appear inside Blackboard at the time specified by your instructor.
Your course syllabus, written by your instructor, provides an overview of the topics, learning objectives, learning resources and online "classroom" environment. The syllabus will also describe the grading policies, requirements such as reading assignments, homework, projects, class participation, and whether your exams will require proctoring. By downloading and/or printing the syllabus for your class, you'll have a convenient way to refer to the course outline and structure.
