The learning management system, Blackboard, provides a variety of options for engaging students in learning activities to support attainment of course goals. Some options provide opportunities to practice key skills for feedback; others allow students to collaborate on coming to deeper understanding of theory or practice; and, some allow students to reflect on what/how they are learning. Choosing activities to align with intended learning makes instruction more effective.
The Blackboard Help pages that are linked here show both the Ultra View and the Original Course View. Please select the Original Course View at the top of the information page.
