Compelling strategies for your school to stand out in a sea of sameness among higher education institutions.

Students and learners across the world are accessing learning online at increasing rates.

This series of workshops is designed to equip academics with the key competencies needed to design, develop, and facilitate online courses. With a focus on the development of practical skills, this series gives academics the confidence to transition from teaching face-to-face to a blended or fully online mode leveraging the tools available in Blackboard Learn Original.

Our commitment is to support you during this health crisis. Please use these free resources, including guides, tip sheets, videos, trainings, and more to effectively communicate with stakeholders and continue learning. 

Written in partnership with Project Tomorrow, this report details how districts and schools should consider differentiating their communications based on generational preferences. 

Districts across the U.S. are having to move incredibly fast to meet the evolving digital learning and communication needs. Read this blog to hear how our new solution, Blackboard Unite for K-12, is designed to keep students learning, no matter what. 

Technology has become inseparable from the everyday lives of students, and with each new generation of learners it is becoming increasingly possible to leverage technology to support student success. To do so, institutions must be equipped with the necessary tools, and their faculty members with the necessary skills. As a global leader in online teaching and learning, Blackboard is deeply committed to enabling the innovative use of technology to deliver a higher quality of education.

View the virtual Student Engagement Insights Clinic to learn how schools are using data to enhance their student services. Having this level of insight is more important than ever.  We discuss how to access student activity data and reports that may already be free for your institution.
