JBCourse Manager
Increasingly, instructors are looking for ways to incorporate online learning into their classroom-based courses. Learning management systems, such as JBCourse Manager, facilitate the use of blended learning. “Blended learning” simply means combining online learning with traditional classroom-based sessions.
With a comprehensive communications suite and robust student tracking, JBCourse Manager offers a wealth of features that will allow you to offer an online component with your course quickly and easily. These features include a range of pre-built courses, known as “Virtual Classrooms,” simplified functionality, and a convenient “one-page layout” for easy administration.
Each Virtual Classroom is built to mirror the textbook it supports, using many of the instructor and students resources available from Jones & Bartlett. It is this consistency which lends to the effectiveness of using JBCourse Manager in conjunction with traditional classroom sessions.
Access for instructors and students is free for textbook adopters. If your training site is already using another learning management system, you can still take advantage of the resources available on our Virtual Classroom, which are designed to be compatible with any LMS.
