Blackboard Online Learning System

The Blackboard Online Learning System is used to turn in assignments, find course information, take online tests, and maintain the flow of information between instructor and student away from lecture time. Cumberland University contracts with Drexel University in Pennsylvania to host Blackboard on their computer network. Drexel provides this service for other colleges as well. As part of this service, Drexel has an online learning team that supports all the students and faculty at all the colleges they host Blackboard for.

When logging in to Blackboard, there is a “Browser Check” that runs to make sure your system meets the requirements for connecting to Blackboard. It’s important to make sure that your PC or laptop passes the check, and there are help screens within the Browser Check to assist you in correcting any problems.

If you are able to log in to Blackboard, but don’t see one or more of your courses listed, your instructor or instructors may need to add you to those courses.

For any other problems with Blackboard, you have two contact points:
