Blackboard for Instructors

How Do Instructors Use Blackboard?

Blackboard is a learning management platform where instructors create courses and assignments for both online and in-person courses. It organizes the delivery and completion of assignments online, without having to use paper or track assignments manually. All e-learning courses are offered through Blackboard. Students and faculty access the system using their CUNYfirst account.

Every instructor has access to Blackboard for their in-person and online courses (whether you use it or not).
