What is Blackboard?

Blackboard is one of the most useful technological resources currently available for educators and students. Through Blackboard information can be shared across colleges and departments, bringing all of the great minds at Lawrence Tech together in one interface.

Blackboard is a web-based teaching tool that Lawrence Tech implemented to support instruction. Blackboard is located at my.ltu.edu. The more familiar you become with Blackboard the more you realize how it will enhances and streamlines tasks for professional educators. The Veraldi Instructional Technology Resource Center is pleased to provide training and support documentation for this invaluable web based tool.

Getting started in your Blackboard Learning System course

Blackboard Course Backup -  Explains Blackboard's Export and Import features to "preserve" your course.

The Export Course function creates a "package" of the course content that can later be imported into Blackboard and used to teach another course with the same content. The export/import function is best used when the course will be taught in a future semester that is not currently listed within Blackboard.

After you have exported your course and saved the file to your hard drive you can then import the wholecourse package, or selected parts of the course using Blackboard’s Import Package function.
