Blackboard Learn is an application for online teaching, learning, community building, and knowledge sharing.

You can use any theory or model for teaching your online course because Blackboard Learn is open, flexible, and centered on student achievement.

At Blackboard, we nurture learners and support those who make education possible, from K-12 and higher education to adult learning and workplace training.

As you get started with Blackboard Learn, you'll find that teaching online shares many similarities with teaching in the face-to-face (f2f) classroom.

When we think about online learning, we often think of a fully online course where all content, the activities, and communication happen entirely online.

However, Blackboard Learn is often used to supplement traditional face-to-face courses. In fact, if you're new to online learning, you can supplement your classroom course with an online syllabus, discussions, and online activities. As you become more comfortable, you can gradually transform your course into a hybrid or fully online course.

I read an article about Blackboard learning. In general, it talks about how Blackboard’s two online learning delivery systems, Blackboard 8.0 and Blackboard CE6, constrain and facilitate instructor–student and student–student interaction. Both Blackboard platforms provide several ways for instructors and students to communicate: asynchronous discussion boards and blogs, synchronous chat, and e–mail.
