What do we mean by an Online Course?
An online course is a term we use specifically to refer to an online presence of a course. In most cases, this is a supplement to a traditional face-to-face, in-class, course. For courses which are delivered completely online or distance education, please contact the Digital Education Strategies at The Chang School.
What is Blackboard?
Blackboard is the current learning management system implemented for Ryerson. It offers various features to enhance classroom learning experiences. The features include:
- Configurable course content space; instructors can upload different types of content for students to access at any time. Please note the materials uploaded into Blackboard have to be copyright checked. The Library can help to check copyright and have the materials available as course readings in Blackboard. See One-Stop Course Readings.
- Communication and collaboration tools, such as student emails, announcements, discussion forums and chats
- Assignment management; including assignment upload, tests, and grade centre
