New Blackboard Learn Workshop Topics
Blackboard Learn is the course management system the entire Jefferson campus will be using beginning Fall 2013. Although very similar to its predecessor, Pulse, the interface looks different and there are a number of new features that can significantly improve your efficiency. Education Services has been offering workshops to get faculty started with the new product.
