Workshops are offered in Basic Blackboard Design. However, if you don't have time for a workshop one of our staff can go to your office to show you the basics in just 20 minutes. Then we will support you throughout the school year. If you are interested, please contact Jean Bultema at x5061. We train Faculty, Staff, and Teaching Assistants.

Yes, we can do that! Faculty, if you'd like one of our staff to set up your whole Blackboard course, just let us know. Call Jean Bultema at x5061.

Consultations are offered on all of the Blackboard tools and features. Your office or ours, please call Jean Bultema at x5061.
Considering online testing? Many faculty use online tests to save paper and to allow more class time for teaching. We'd be glad to show you how Blackboard's Assessment Tool works, and also how to use Respondus, a plug-in that makes Assessments easier to create and manage.
