Managing Blackboard at USC
Blackboard is USC's learning management system (LMS), the largest enterprise-level instructional technology system at USC. Over 80% of USC's students have at least one course in Blackboard during any given semester, and over 70% of USC faculty use Blackboard each semester.
Blackboard provides tools for content distribution and communications. Blackboard also offers innovative ways for instructors to deliver media-rich course content, encourage student interaction online, provide timely feedback for students, and calculate valuable performance and participation metrics.
The Center for Scholarly Technology (CST) serves as the nexus for USC's educational technology strategic planning, governance, and communications. We provide support for Blackboard users, general training, customized workshops, and consultations on strategic uses of Blackboard for distance- and technology-enhanced learning. CST also supports evaluation and assessment of Blackboard by identifying institutional and user learning management system requirements.
