Blackboard for Instructors - Interacting with Students
Blackboard has multiple tools that can assist instructors to create engaging courses to build effective learning communities.
Overview
Student-to-student and instructor-to-student interaction is a vital part of any course experience. In a classroom setting, this interaction happens naturally, as students listen to each other’s comments, ask each other questions, and build rapport through frequent contact. Instructors can foster these interactions in a course using Blackboard, but it may require building formal and informal interaction opportunities in your course design.Related Resources
