INTRODUCING BLACKBOARD 9.1

Coming to JSU in the Fall of 2011
BLACKBOARD 9.1

You are familiar with Blackboard, but get ready for the new and improved version - Blackboard 9.1. There are many new features in 9.1 that will expand the online learning environment and make it more exciting. Mashups promise to add visually engaging content to your online classroom. Wikis will now be available in Blackboard 9.1, which will allow you and your classmates to collaborate on projects, and all you need is your web browser! Learning modules are available in the current version of Blackboard, but have been updated for 9.1, and may be used by your instructor to structure content and promote easy course navigation. Also included in the Fall release of 9.1 are gradable Blogs and Journals, which allow you to share your thoughts and ideas about the course with your classmates and instructor.

So don't miss out! You can stay in the know by following the DE student blog, and watching for weekly insights into the new tools and technology available in Blackboard 9.1.
