University of Fort Hare Blackboard
The University of Fort Hare is currently promoting the learning management system Blackboard. In essence, it is an online learning environment that is web-based, allowing staff at the University of Fort Hare to incorporate a variety of educational and course administration resources. It can be used, for example, to save course materials so that all participants in a given course or program can access them from any location as long as they have internet access.
Additionally, it makes communication between students easier as well as between students and teachers. It has the ability to provide the University of Fort Hare students with blended learning settings when utilized to supplement in-person instruction with supplementary learning materials created utilizing various media. This makes it possible for students to interact more fully with the course material. There are introductory instructions for using Blackboard in this guide. Learn@ufh.ac.za can provide additional assistance in using Blackboard and understanding the guidebook.
