Idea Exchange ID: Not applicable
Institutions can now organize subjects into Programs—a new optional curricular structure within Blackboard. This enhancement allows subject and course offerings to be grouped under parent programs, enabling aggregated reporting and analytics across related courses.
This structure supports Anthology Outcomes with Blackboard and lays the foundation for future use in premium features such as TDM/Course Catalog, Milestone & Achievement Studio, Evaluate, and Illuminate.
Benefits include:
- Alignment between course subjects and multiple programs for improved data aggregation
- Aggregated insights into student performance and engagement across programs.
- Enhanced reporting flexibility by organizing data by Programs that allow courses to have a parent-child relationship with more than one Program.
- Actionable data for administrators, program directors, and instructional designers to improve curriculum effectiveness and support accreditation.
This update empowers institutions to make data-driven decisions and gain a comprehensive view of learning trends across academic structures.
