Blackboard Learn is the learning management system that the University of Windsor campus is adopting. It is a robust enterprise system, designed to provide an enhanced learning experience for students, an efficient interface for instructors to prepare course materials and interact with students, and offers a customizable infrastructure.

Transitioning from CLEW to Blackboard Learn can be difficult for some users. Accordingly, the Centre for Teaching and Learning is offering a series of workshops designed to provide valuable information about using and configuring Blackboard Learn for instructors, their assistants, and support staff.

CTL is holding ongoing drop-in sessions for the first two weeks of classes to help with questions.  The dates/time are posted at: http://www.uwindsor.ca/bbworkshops.

You can also register for the online courses you feel are most aligned with your teaching and learning goals: http://cleo.uwindsor.ca/workshops/86/.

There is also a ton of online help for specific topics.  The U of W page for online help is at http://www.uwindsor.ca/blackboard. Blackboard’s extensive online help (for instructors) is at https://en-us.help.blackboard.com/Learn/9.1_2014_04/Instructor complete with videos, tutorials, and a searchable interface.
