Blackboard learning includes an online grade book. Professors simply update students' grades each time a new quiz, test, or assignment is graded, and tallied scores are made available to students. This feature allows students to keep tabs on exactly where they are throughout semester, and teacher saves time from having to answer questions about what students got on homework assignments. The grade book also allows students and professors to double check their records to ensure proper grade for each assignment is recorded.
Between classes, homework, extracurricular activities, and road trips, students can't always find a time to meet on campus and study or work on group projects. Online forums, discussion groups, and chat rooms add a humanistic touch to Blackboard learning. Students make post questions they have about different assignments or concepts, and other students or professor can respond. Professors may lead out-of-class discussions online to help round out lectures given during class time.
Why Blackboard Learning?If you were to turn in a handwritten financial report or used a hand drawn graph in a sales pitch, you very likely would not receive same response as if you had typed report or designed graphic with a computer. Whether we like it or not (personally, I like it!) technology is not only here to stay but it is fully integrated into nearly everything we do - and education is no different. Papers are typed. Research is done online. PowerPoint has replaced overhead projectors.
Students and teachers have to take advantage of technological advances in order to stay afloat in information age. Blackboard Learning is a resource that helps students stay organized and succeed.
