Blackboard is a web-based application that is available to all MICA faculty members as a way to communicate class information on the web. Blackboard allows you to post information to be viewed by your students, such as syllabi, assignments, readings, images, etc. The information that is posted on Blackboard is available at anytime, so students can find information related to the course from anywhere with an internet connection, at any time of the day or night. Blackboard also features integrated discussion board and chat utilities where teachers and students can hold online discussions. The content of these discussions/chats is automatically archived by Blackboard so that it can be revisited at any time by members of the course.
