Campus Pack integrates social learning tools into Blackboard making wikis, blogs, journals and podcasts available for course assignments. Instructors can use wikis for collaborative projects, blogs to foster communication skills, and podcasts to enable learning on-the-go. Assessment tools give instructors insight into the students’ learning process and progress.

Personal Learning Spaces is an online space for every individual to create and publish content outside the course with ready access to peers, courses, and organizations. As a part of this process, collaborative spaces called Community Areas can be created for academic and administrative departments, clubs, teams, and other groups.
