Developed to quickly and affordably introduce online learning to a school community, Blackboard School Central™ is a fully hosted online learning platform for virtual course delivery, professional development and classroom instruction. Districts can quickly and easily expand learning opportunities for both students and teachers without the cost and complexity of building or supporting an in-house learning management system.
Provide Personalized Learning Opportunities.
Blackboard School Central empowers districts to expand learning opportunities that meet the needs of a diverse student population. Whether it is offering an advanced course online that otherwise would not be available, or an online extension to a class that provides students with enrichment and remediation activities, Blackboard School Central helps you individualize and personalize the learning experience.
Easily Monitor Student Progress.
To increase student achievement, Blackboard School Central helps teachers to easily manage and monitor student progress. With a comprehensive assessment engine, teachers can create practice tests and classroom exams that provide instant feedback and are automatically graded and recorded in the integrated Blackboard Grade Center™. Whether it’s grading a discussion, encouraging students to grade themselves or their peers, or teaching citation skills with a built-in plagiarism prevention service, Blackboard School Central empowers teachers to measure student progress with multiple measures of performance.
Increase Student Engagement.
Create engaging 21st Century learning environments using collaboration and active learning tools. Encourage participation and extend your classroom discussion beyond the school day using a moderated discussion forum and group work areas, as well as creating multi-media and interactive learning materials.
Encourage Parental Involvement.
As parents are critical partners in the learning process, it is imperative that they have insight in to the classroom and their children’s educational experiences. With Blackboard School Central, parents have a unique view into their children’s classroom and to the school and district’s initiative—closing the gap between home and school.
Provide Flexible and Affordable Professional Development.
Blackboard School Central empowers districts to provide ongoing and relevant professional development when and where teachers need it. Ensure all teachers have access to exemplary content, best practices, mentorship opportunities and a professional learning community. Use Scholar® by Blackboard to build a professional learning community.
Manage the Learning, Not the Technology
Blackboard School Central is a fully hosted solution, meaning there is nothing to install or support. You’ll get started quickly on a reliable and secure system. With Blackboard training and customization services, you’ll increase teacher adoption and minimize the learning curve.
