Announcements about ddl.dyc.edu Questions and Answers about Blackboard 1. Blackboard is a program used to construct course sites on the web.
All material is placed inside courses.
Blackboard allows announcements to be posted, holds documents, allows users to post comments on a bulletin board and conduct real-time chats. Students can send a document directly to the professor and have it returned to them. Students have access to a calendar and can even build their own web site inside the course. Blackboard contains an on-line testing facility which presents tests and provides the test taker with an immediate score. Once inside the Blackboard site, a visitor can look at some materials from some courses if allowed by the instructor.
