What is Blackboard?

Blackboard (Bb) is the HSC campus course management system. A course management system allows you to create a dedicated and secure web site for your academic course, program or campus organization. Within this web site, you can:

  • Post text items and files, such as course syllabi, instructor information, articles, assignments and slide shows / presentations
  • Conduct online discussions using the built-in discussion boards tool
  • Create and deliver online tests, quizzes and surveys
  • Manage a course gradebook, including display of individual grades (available only to the appropriate student)

And much more!

With Bb, you do not need to know any HTML or other technical languages - the course or organizational web site is developed entirely through a point, click and type, on-screen web page. See images below for example of the incredibly simple user interface.
