Deliver the rich online experience users demand

In addition to the robust capabilities the Course Delivery module provides, clients across the world also leverage the Community Engagement module to build a vibrant online university or school ecosystem. Through the additional tools in Community Engagement, the Blackboard Learn solution goes well beyond online teaching and learning. It delivers a better, more customized user experience on every level.

WIth the Community Engagement module, you can help your institution:

• Promote easier online collaboration and communication for campus groups, clubs, committees, faculty, students or administration.
• Represent multiple unique identities or brands across different campuses, schools, colleges or degree programs.
• Be more efficient in delivering school-wide or district-wide news with targeted information based on the users’ role—student, teacher, administrator, first year, business major, etc.
• Support multiple organizational units with different needs - for example, different schools, departments, colleges, or even institutions in a system - on a single instance of Blackboard Learn.

Build vibrant online communities. Provide collaborative spaces. Deliver targeted information.

The Community Engagement module gives you a great deal of flexibility to manage your user community in a way that fits with your goals and priorities.

What is Community Engagement?

• Organizations provide online collaboration space for campus groups, clubs, committees, faculty, students, and administration.  These collaboration spaces will be familiar to users since they are modeled after the course environment used every day.
• Notifications Dashboard is a roll-up of all the courses and organizations users are involved in, allowing them to quickly see all their updates and key information in one location.
• Institution Roles give administrators the flexibility to deliver targeted user information. For example, a university may want to provide a particular message to first year students, or only to online students. Or a K12 district may want to contact students and teachers from a certain school.
• Portal functionality leverages flexible modules and tabs to provide a one-stop shop for all academic and campus information.
• Branding creates unique online identities for distinct colleges, degree programs, physical campuses, and K12 schools or districts.
• Institutional Hierarchy allows you to model your organizational structure in Blackboard Learn in order to delegate administrative privileges in a way that parallels that real-world structure.
