Hampton University uses Blackboard Academic Suite™ (7.3.216.0) as the standard Web-based tool to create and supplement course materials as well as develop full-range courses. Blackboard offers a robust, yet easy to use platform that allows instructors to offer courses online. Some of the most attractive features are:
  • There is no need to know HTML.

  • Blackboard fosters student to student and student to instructor communication with discussion boards, virtual chats, and e-mail.

  • Blackboard is accessible to users 24/7.

  • The online grade book feature allows instructors to post student grades associated with assessments.

  • Instructors can integrate PowerPoint presentations into their courses as well as create links to other sites.

If you would like to obtain an account to post course materials on Blackboard, or if you need information on training and support, please contact Flora Stone, Education Delivery Specialist, at bbsupport@hamptonu.edu.
