Blackboard Help & Support

This is the Blackboard section of the resources hub. Blackboard (Bb) is the University’s Virtual Learning Environment, providing an online space for staff and students to interact. It is designed to provide a dedicated site for every module taught at the University. Make sure you check Blackboard regularly for announcements from your tutor, key dates, module information and reference guides.

  • Discussion Forums
  • Hosting and management of online assessments
  • Collaborative areas for group work with communication and file sharing facilities
  • Online submission of student work
  • Embedding multimedia content
  • Links to external resources
