Welcome to the Connecticut Community College
System's Blackboard Vista resources
and information site.
This site is intended to provide resources to faculty, staff, and
students seeking more information about how Blackboard Vista and online technology
can enhance the learning and teaching process in our system.
Blackboard Vista is the newest version of our system’s course management
system, which is used to facilitate the creation and delivery of
web-based educational environments. Since the merger of WebCT and
Blackboard in February 2006, the actual system name is now “Blackboard
Learning System – Vista Enterprise Edition”.
Blackboard Vista provides a standardized interface used by both faculty
and students, which includes a set of online educational tools to
facilitate learning, communication and collaboration.
The new interface is very similar to WebCT Vista 3, but in many ways it
is more intuitive in both navigation and functionality for course
designers/instructors and students. It’s also got some great new
features, like a course map for easy navigation to all course content,
the ability to create “blog”-format discussions as well as student
journals, and new grading forms for the creation of course rubrics. New
active learning enhancements include peer review features, and features
that enable students to contribute to course web links and media library
collections.
