Learning Management System

Blackboard is UAlbany's Learning Management System (LMS).  Blackboard (Bb) has many features which allow faculty to upload files and organize course content, communicate with students via announcements or email, and assign/grade assignments easily through the browser.  When you have courses that use Blackboard, you are able to easily access course documents, contact the instructor or TA's, and check your course grades throughout the semester.  At UAlbany, we have Blackboard courses that span the online spectrum: web enhanced to supplement face to face classes, blended which reduces class seat time with more online activities or fully online where students never have to come to campus.

Wi-Fi and Networking

UAlbanyWiFi is the secure wireless service used on campus by students, faculty, and staff.  It authenticates with your NetID and Password, and requires support for the WPA2-Enterprise protocol.
