Blackboard is Valparaiso University’s online course management system. Many of the classes taught on campus use Blackboard (also known as Bb or Blackboard Learn) for supplemental class material. Bb is also used
as a way to teach distance learning courses.  

Blackboard is a web-based course management system. In other words, you must have an internet connection and a compatible web browser in order to use Blackboard. Currently, we recommend Firefox or Chrome be used for best results.
