Blackboard is an application that supports online delivery of courses at Stevenson University. Through the use of the Blackboard Learning System, instructors can present course materials, create and manage course assignments and activities, communicate with students, and facilitate asynchronous discussions with the class. Assignments and activities can be linked to the Grade Center, allowing students to receive timely feedback on assignments.

**Please visit the** Blackboard On Demand Learning Center and complete the training applicable to your level of Blackboard experience and specific needs. Sections include Understanding and Building your Course, Communicating and Collaborating and Assessing Learners.

To access Blackboard, click on the Quicklinks button on the Stevenson University Homepage and select Blackboard or click on the //My//**SU** icon in the right hand upper corner of the Stevenson website homepage.

If you have not turned on your Blackboard course, it will be automatically turned on towards the end of the semester so that course evaluations can be completed. If you choose not to use Blackboard for your course, you may want to turn the course on and post an introduction to your students letting them know that, although the site is turned on, you will not be actively using it for class.// //See Course Evaluation section of this orientation for more information// //regarding course evaluations.//
