Blackboard 9
TLTC 924
 
New possibilities and exciting changes are available with the University's move to the newest release of Blackboard on Sunday, July 19th @ 1:00 pm.

This summer, the Teaching, Learning and Technology Center upgraded Blackboard, Seton Hall University's course management system, from version 8.0 to version 9.0. As we move to Blackboard 9, you will find a fresh new look - one that features fewer clicks to navigate and to complete course setup options. 

The new version offers new and improved social learning tools such as blogs and journals, and other Web 2.0 technologies that allow for greater interactivity and collaboration in a web-based environment. It offers the ability to customize course pages by "dragging and dropping". Navigation is easier with the new drop down menus. And that's just the beginning!
