Blackboard Learn®, CMU’s Learning Management System, is a robust teaching environment that provides many opportunities to supplement face-to-face, Hybrid, and HyFlex courses and facilitates full-scale online course delivery. This self-paced Fundamentals of Blackboard workshop introduces the skills necessary to be successful in using Blackboard as a tool for teaching both face-to-face and online courses.
