Advanced Blackboard Workshops !
Based on faculty requests, we're now
offering four new workshops to introduce ways to get more out of
Blackboard. These workshops are intended for those who have
used Blackboard and want to take advantage of some of the new
features. Starting this semester, to make it more convenient
to attend, we'll be offering workshops during standard class time
slots.
If you've never used or have little
experience using Blackboard, please consider attending "Introduction to
Blackboard 9".
