Curtin uses Blackboard, a learning management system which is a portal that provides access to online learning materials, as well as a variety of interesting and engaging activities and assessments. Students also have the opportunity to make use of popular web 2.0 tools such as blogs, wikis, YouTube and journals within their units.
