Haigazian University: Launching of the Blackboard Learning System

Haigazian University has recently launched the Networked Learning
Environment, in particular, the Blackboard Learning System. In today’s
environment, institutions are under increasing pressure to demonstrate
educational outcomes, to tailor instruction to meet the specific
learning needs of different students and to foster active learning.
Effective use of technology is a key means addressing these
challenges.

The systems allows any student or teacher to view instructional
content, collaborate with educators, evaluate academic performance and
access any learning resource at any time in order to achieve their
educational objectives.

IT director of Haigazian University, Mr. Moufid Alam, said that, “this
Networked Learning Environment will enable Haigazian University to
realize important benefits, such as student-centered learning, greater
instructor efficiency, anytime anywhere access, improved evaluation
and outcomes management and access to high quality learning content.”
