Blackboard Vista
Blackboard Vista is the learning management system used at the
Community College of Aurora for online learning and teaching activities. Blackboard Vista may be used for
- Online courses which have no classroom component.
- Hybrid courses offer the convenience of an internet course with the opportunity to meet face to face with the instructor and classmates. All coursework is available online, however, scheduled meeting times will be published for each course.
- Self-paced courses which do not require attendance but have regular class meeting times where instructors are available to help students with assignments.
- On-campus courses in which instructors may post a syllabus, notes, or grades.
