The switch is on to a new learning environment!
Starting with academic year 2011-2012, Mount Sinai School of Medicine will be switching to the new BlackBoard course management system. It effectively engages both students and faculty alike with a new Web 2.0 interface to create and deliver content.
This will be a BIG change for everyone! This is but one of the many ways the medical school is responding to medical and graduate students, course and clerkship directors and faculty educators in providing them with the best available technological tools to meet their individual learning goals.

(As a reminder, with Content Management Systems such as these, the modifications and choices each institution makes are numerous, so you may see features that we are not planning to use, and the interface design will be slightly different from what you see in the video.)
