Blackboard Resources for Students
Blackboard is a web-based learning management system (LMS) designed to support fully online courses or provide a space for face-to-face course supplementation. Blackboard provides many types of tools and features for enriching the learning experience.
Blackboard is TAMU-CC's supported web-based teaching and learning platform. Blackboard Learn is used by your instructors to teach blended and fully online courses. For face-to-face courses, Blackboard may be used to enhance online activities and resources. The platform allows you access your course materials and activities, submit assignments and take tests, connect and share experiences with other students and instructors, and finally, find the support that will help you be a successful Islander anytime and anywhere!
