Blackboard Cleveland State University

Welcome to eLearning at Cleveland State University! Whether you are planning to teach a fully online course, a hybrid course or use a Blackboard course shell to enhance a face-to-face course, the Center for eLearning can provide you with services and assistance to achieve your instructional goals.

ACCESS AND INTEGRATION TO THE BLACKBOARD LEARN LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

CSU uses Blackboard Learn, which is a Learning Management System. A Learning Management System (LMS) is an application used for the development and delivery of online course materials and fully online courses. Blackboard Learn is self-contained, with all of the functions for designing and delivering online courses available in the LMS including: the development of materials, communication and instructor functions.

Access to Blackboard Learn at CSU is automatic. When you are added to the University’s PeopleSoft system and assigned to teach a course, you will automatically receive a course shell for each course on Blackboard Learn. Your PeopleSoft authentication credentials (same as for email, CampusNet) are used to login to Blackboard Learn. Students are automatically enrolled into courses. Once they register in CampusNet, they see their courses in Blackboard the following business day.
