What is Blackboard Vista?
Blackboard is a learning management system that was selected by the Alamo Colleges to deliver online course content. With many tools and features, Blackboard is able to emulate an in-class setting within an online environment.
The system is available only to students who are enrolled in courses that utilize Blackboard. This includes all online courses, but also many on-campus courses that use the system to provide supplementary content.
