Blackboard receives facelift over summer

Blackboard on the Wichita State Web has been updated with new features to aid both students and teachers. The updates include a calendar where students can view assignment and test dates, an enhanced and expanded text editor and an improved discussion board layout. Posts now can be easily read and replied to without leaving the page. Students will not be able to read other posts without first submitting one of their own.

The update is already in effect for the summer semester.
