Blackboard
Every course taught at NU has a secure course website accessible
only to professors and their students through Northwestern's
Blackboard Course Management System. The course website allows
instructors to make their course materials-including
documents, presentations, sound and video clips-available
to their students on the Web, as well as communicate directly
with students by email. Most importantly, instructors are
able to create and manage their course sites without having
to learn HTML or other programming languages. Blackboard
eases the publishing of course materials, facilitates evaluation
and record keeping associated with a course, and engages
students in active learning through discussion boards and
group Web pages. For more information, visit http://aboutblackboard.northwestern.edu/.
Workshops are available to assist instructors in learning
how to build and manage a complete course site on the Web.
Workshops include a question-and-answer session and guided
practice time. Training sessions are held in the University
Library in the Evanston campus. For more information and
a faculty tutorial, visit NU's
Course Management website (PDF Format) or email course-management@northwestern.edu.
