Expand Your Capabilities. Fulfill Your Online Learning Vision. Blackboard Online Program Management

Online Learning in a Different Light

Blackboard approaches online program design, implementation, and management differently. We believe the experience should be unique to your institution. We are here to help power that experience throughout the student lifecycle by helping you assess your internal capabilities and determine what resources, technologies, key partners, and additional capabilities you need to efficiently:

Student Lifecycle
  • Target and enroll more students
  • Enable seamless financial aid delivery
  • Provide learning support
  • Assess risk and improve retention
  • Ensure success through degree, program completion, or employment

We then work with you to develop a program that extends your capabilities, meshes with the uniqueness of your institution, and fulfills your online learning vision.

Create a Strategy that's More than Online Courses

 Blackboard helped our faculty understand the critical nature of proper training for online course delivery … It’s not a matter of taking your course materials, dumping them online, and hoping the students can figure out what they training on how to use the LMS – it’s how you become a successful online instructor.

Online learning isn't only about the classes you offer, but also the experience you provide. Our team of consultants, educators, and technologists—many who were previously deans, instructors, instructional designers, IT leaders, and online learning directors—will apply an educational approach based on effective practices to enhance your strengths, identify gaps, and develop paths to achieve your specific objectives.

Together, we can shape an online learning program that delivers more opportunities for you and your students.

Tailor Online Learning to You, Not a Template

 Blackboard and Southern Miss worked with faculty to identify their teaching styles, how they liked to communicate, and what could be translated from face to-face classes to the online environment. By doing that, we were able to take a deep dive into their courses from an instructional standpoint. As a result, instructors could leverage core elements of the courses they had worked so hard to develop and easily migrate them into an online environment.
