Blackboard is UCA’s Learning Management System, and is used by your faculty in fully-online classes, in-person classes, and hybrid classes.
In your classes, some of the common uses of Blackboard include:
- locating the course syllabus and gradebook
- accessing course materials (readings, assignments, videos)
- linking to outside platforms (MyMathLab, TopHat, etc.)
- participating in online discussions (Blackboard Collaborate Ultra)
- contacting your classmates for group projects and study sessions
- uploading assignments
- taking online quizzes and tests
