What is Blackboard ?

Blackboard is a course management system used at Athens State University to provide online access to course materials for every course we offer, including traditional, distance, and blended courses. It provides online tools such as class email, chat, discussion boards, quizzes, etc., that instructors can use to facilitate Internet courses or enhance classroom courses. All active students have already been assigned a Blackboard account.
