Since the early 2000’s, Saint Mary’s has been using and growing with Blackboard Learn as its primary LMS. The ability to store and share files, submit assignments, communicate with class members and the instructor, monitor grades, and stay informed has allowed Blackboard to impact learning across the University. After an extensive review process, Saint Mary’s has picked Canvas as its new LMS and will begin migrating courses and content during the 2020 academic year.
Blackboard will continue to be the primary platform on which Saint Mary’s offers courses in Fall 2020 while we roll-out Canvas during the academic year. Here are a collection of frequently need Blackboard help topics:
