The University of Free State (UFS) has created UFS Blackboard, a learning management platform that will help its students manage their learning processes. This makes it easy for students to attend classes online, get lecture notes and submit assignments anywhere and anytime.
UFS Blackboard also helps lecturers of the university to distribute their course materials easily (ie. course outlines, lecture notes/PowerPoint presentations, recommended reading books/journals, videos, and forums) to students who need them. This article will teach you how to log in to this platform.
