Blackboard is an online course management system that acts as an extension to the classroom. This system is very easy to use and provides such features as: posted course materials and announcements, discussion boards, virtual chat sessions with whiteboard functionality, email functionality, a digital drop box for students to submit assignments, and online assessments. Approximately 85 percent of the classes at Rutgers Business School utilize this system. For more information, please see the Blackboard Support for Students webpage.
