Welcome to the CourseWeb Support Site

The term “CourseWeb” refers to the University of Pittsburgh ’s implementation of the Blackboard course management system.  This system is used to make course documents available to students via the Internet. It also includes tools to engage learners such as discussion boards, file transfers, external links, assessments, wikis, blogs and podcasts to name just a few. The University uses Blackboard to support its on-campus and distance education course offerings.  Pitt faculty have developed thousands of different courses while serving over two thirds of the University’s students.
