Blackboard Sync

Blackboard Sync is a Linux-based application that automates the retrieval and synchronization of educational content from Blackboard learning management systems. It connects to the user's specified Blackboard instance to download course materials, documents, and assignments, ensuring that local copies remain consistent with the remote server. The tool is intended for students and educators who require offline access to their course files and wish to maintain a local archive of their academic data.

The application handles the authentication process and file transfer protocols necessary to mirror content from the web-based platform to the local file system. It is licensed under GPL-2.0-only and is restricted to Linux platforms. Users must provide their institutional credentials to enable the synchronization process, and the software periodically checks for updates to the course materials to keep the local directory current.
