Online learning at RMIT

Blackboard is a learning management system that can manage a variety of educational applications.

All undergraduate courses (and many postgraduate courses) at RMIT have a Blackboard site, which can be used for a variety of teaching activities:

  • distributing and organising information (documents, presentations, links, etc), using customisable course areas and folders
  • communicating with students using announcements, discussion boards and virtual classrooms
  • managing student collaborative and reflective activities using wikis and blogs
  • conducting online assessment with tests, quizzes and assignment submission
  • recording and distributing student grades.

All RMIT teaching staff have access to a support program - LSTS: Learning Systems Technical Support – which provides material and guides for using Blackboard.
