Let*s face it. You would live on Facebook if you could. Imagine a
world where you could manage your entire life from Facebook - it*s not
that far off! Right now, though, one thing missing is your academic
life. You have to access a different system to get your course
information and you don*t always know when something new has been
posted or assigned, so it*s difficult for you to stay on top of your
studies. We get it. That*s why Blackboard is offering Blackboard
Sync*, an application that delivers course information and updates
from Blackboard to you inside Facebook.

So go ahead and install Blackboard Sync and start getting course
updates and connecting with classmates through Facebook right away.
