Goodbye to Blackboard, Hello to BOLT BOLT logo

BOLT - Bloomsburg Online Learning and Teaching is the new name for our learning management system (LMS). It is based on Desire2Learn (D2L).

When? - Starting with Summer 2010 courses.

Why? - State-wide committee of students, faculty and staff evaluated LMS products and decided Desire2Learn was best.

Help? - More information will be posted on the Bloomsburg website and sent via email to assist you with the transition. Faculty will find information specific to them at http://departments.bloomu.edu/imdc/bolt.html.

Questions? - Contact Regina Bobak (rbobak@bloomu.edu).
