Tool:

Blackboard

Benefits for Faculty:

• Useful for large courses
  • can communicate with students easily (especially when you have 550 students).
  • communication is possible at all times.
• Materials for students and faculty accessible 24/7.

Benefits for Students:

• Students can read all the materials before class.
• If students are at home or in the dorm they can access lectures at any time, even 3:00am.
• Students don’t have to carry all their information with them. Whenever they want, they can print it out from Blackboard.

Teaching Tips:

"Something that I found very useful in Blackboard is to put the end of the semester evaluations of the course. Giving the students evaluations, having them fill them out, and transfer all the data on to the computer...that works very well."
