Online Tools
Every classroom needs the right tools to help students succeed, and a virtual one is no different. That's why we use Blackboard Vista for developing and delivering courses or course components over the web.
Some of the Blackboard Vista tools used to support online learning include:
- calendar
- class discussions
- email
- chat
- glossary
- media library
- quizzes, tests, surveys and other evaluations
- class materials and web links
Blackboard Vista provides the tools to present online learning in a variety of ways. This can range from structured learning pathways to dynamic, interactive, virtual classrooms. How a course is presented online depends on the content and complexity of the learning material, and the delivery methodology used by the instructor.
With each course, Blackboard Vista will become a more familiar and welcoming learning environment. Eventually, Blackboard Vista will simply become another tool used to support learning.
As with any classroom, it is a changing environment - expect each course to apply different tools and techniques. Join in, ask questions, and participate as you would in any classroom.
Blackboard Vista brings the dynamics of a classroom environment to the Web. It allows instructors and students to interact in a virtual classroom in much the same way as in a standard classroom. The difference is that it can be done from any place in the world, at any time and with the resources of the Internet as support.
