Blackboard ChalkBox enables publishers to create content packages, called Blackboard Chalk Titles™, that not only provide content, but also integrate interactive learning applications hosted centrally by the publishers on their own web sites. The technology allows for:

synchronization of the course roster in the Blackboard Learning System course web site with the external application
single login so the user does not have to re-authenticate in the external application
posting of results and grades from the external application back to the Blackboard Learning System’s Gradebook.

The instructor installs a Blackboard Chalk Title in their course much as they would a Blackboard Course Cartridge. Like a Blackboard Course Cartridge, the Blackboard Chalk Title populates the course with discipline-specific learning materials, test banks and rich media, but it also enables additional functionality in the instructor Control Panel of the course web site.

*NOTE: This tool should be Unavailable by default in UNF Blackboard Courses. If you will be using a Blackboard Chalk Title in your course, you will need to make the Chalk Title Management available. To make the tool available, go to Manage Tools and click on Tool Availability:
