Blackboard Learn<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>is the primary learning management system at Boston University; it is used in on- and off-campus courses, certificate programs, and clerkships. Students can access course materials at any time and from any computer with an Internet connection.<\/p>\n

Blackboard courses are available for each class offered. Instructor assignments and student enrollments are populated through an integration with MyBUStudent, BU\u2019s student information system.<\/p>\n

For the medical school, Blackboard courses are created by rotation, by block. In some cases, a department may wish to use a single Blackboard course for multiple blocks, and\/or for multiple rotations. In order to protect student privacy and comply with FERPA<\/strong>, please reference the following guidelines in determining whether a combined Blackboard site can be used.<\/p>\n

A combined Blackboard site for multiple blocks and\/or rotations may include:<\/h4>\n
    \n
  • Course materials<\/li>\n
  • Resources documents<\/li>\n
  • Information that is not specific to individual students<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    A combined Blackboard site may NOT include:<\/h4>\n
      \n
    • Recorded content which captures student faces, voices, or names<\/li>\n
    • Discussion boards<\/li>\n
    • Other\u00a0<\/span>form<\/span>ats of student interaction<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Note: If you wish to utilize any of these features, rotation and block-specific Blackboard courses should be utilized.<\/em><\/p>\n
