Content Management
The pursuit of knowledge today may be best characterized by an explosion in the volume and use of digital content. Regardless of its form, online content storage, cataloging and sharing is no longer a mere convenience. It’s critical for you to maintain your focus on high-quality teaching and student achievement while ensuring all teachers have access to exemplary content.
Enterprise content management technology from Blackboard® directly addresses the challenges associated with disparate systems and hard drives that make delivery and storage tricky. Simply put, Blackboard technology offers you an elegant way to handle the challenge of growing educational content.
Our solution will continue to empower diverse stakeholders to securely tag, manage, reuse and share digital content. Deep integration with the Blackboard Learn™ course delivery capability ensures a seamless experience. A central Web-based system harnesses the collective wisdom of your teachers without relying on e-mail or hard drives. Efficient version control with multi-section management and central management of user access and quotas makes it easy to manage all your content.
One integrated content management solution for all users
When your content is scattered across disparate systems and hard drives, it’s often hard to find, use and catalog. The Blackboard content management application resides on one central, integrated platform. Intuitive and easy to use, our solution makes it easier for users to find, share and reuse learning content. Your staff will save the time formerly spent on managing group and individual access across multiple storage solutions.
Efficiently manage, reuse and update academic content
Educators are busy and don’t have time to recreate content for every section of a course. In the past, when one version was changed, the same updates had to be made to each document. Within Blackboard Learn, however, once learning content is created, it is automatically applied throughout applicable courses. When educators want to update content, it’s done just once and updated throughout their work. Educators and administrators can access and manage digital content relevant to their work while 360-degree views provide insight into content details.
Securely manage and share digital content
Without proper storage control, your vital content can be lost or compromised. This is especially troubling when research or curricula need to be shared with multiple constituents. With content management technology from Blackboard, you’ll gain the ability to share content without security risks. Permissions and passes enable users to automatically deliver the right content to the right individuals. e-Reserves make it easy for your library to securely deliver copyright-cleared content to your students and faculty.
Empower collaboration and sharing
Blackboard content management technology supports collaborative content development with workflow and versioning capabilities. You’ll harness the collective wisdom of your educators quickly and easily with collaborative curriculum development. And your users will have the ability to route content to others for review, designate settings and automatically archive and track previous versions of their files.
Demonstrate student achievement
e-Portfolios are recognized for encouraging reflective learning, demonstrating academic achievement and providing opportunities for evidenced-based learning. However, many solutions are difficult to integrate with other academic systems. Blackboard e-Portfolio technology enables students and educators to assemble and share information online—all within the same system where learning content resides.
