Overview

Google Classroom offers flexible ways to organize communications, files, and other resources in a team environment. Google Classroom should not be seen as a substitute or replacement for Blackboard Original. Blackboard Original remains the officially supported Learning Management System (LMS) at NDSU. The responsibility of end users is to retain and back up any course materials, grades, or any other content in Google Classrooms. Please see Records Management for more information about records retention and management at NDSU.
