Blackboard Learn is a course management and learning system chosen by Wayne State faculty in 1999 for its full features and ease of use. This Web-based course system is easily accessible anywhere, any time from a computer connected to the Internet – at http://blackboard.wayne.edu:
Blackboard is available for use by Wayne State students, faculty, and staff, using a WSU AccessID and password.
Student use depends on how the course instructor chooses to use it. It's best to check with your instructors at the start of each semester.
Faculty can use Blackboard in any way that they are comfortable — from having a syllabus and contact information online to creating a complete course along with comprehensive course materials supplemented with communication and collaboration through real-time chats, threaded discussions, class e-mail, and online file exchanges.
Instructors in Blackboard can post lecture notes, handouts, grades, assignments, and much more — using text-based materials or multimedia. They can conduct live chat sessions and give online assessments.
Administrative staff and faculty can create Organizations in Blackboard for community engagement and to facilitate project or group activities. Support materials and access procedures are currently being developed.
All courses in Blackboard are password protected. To use Blackboard, you log in with your WSU AccessID and password at blackboard.wayne.edu. Students and faculty also can access through WSU Pipeline on the respective Student tab or Faculty tab.
