Community Organizations

What is a Community Organization?
A community organization is a feature in Blackboard (a courseware product that provides easy access to Internet-based services to support teaching, learning, and research) that allows members of campus groups and organizations to communicate and collaborate online in a similar way to online Blackboard courses. For example, organization members can share documents, discuss topics, and chat in real-time.

What features are available?
You can post online documents, announcements, and information that can be accessed by the organization's members. Members can participate in threaded discussions and chat rooms for real-time interaction, and exchange e-mail with members within the organization. An organization calendar can be posted as well. Group pages allow organization members to share Web pages.
