The Blackboard Learn Learning Management System (LMS) is SUNY Cortland's campus supported web-based teaching and learning tool. At SUNY Cortland, Blackboard Learn is used by faculty to web enhance classroom-based courses with online activities, as well as teaching hybrid and fully online courses. Blackboard Learn provides faculty with an easy-to-use interface for generating online materials and provides students with a consistent environment for interacting with online course materials regardless of the mode of instruction. Blackboard can be used to post course syllabi, lecture notes, links to articles, powerpoint presentations, and multi-media. Faculty can also use Blackboard Learn features such as quizzes, surveys, open and small group discussions, create drop boxes for assignments and course mail to encourage student course participation.
