ANNOUNCEMENT: Blackboard Seminar Series

Educational Technology will begin its Blackboard Seminar Series starting on September 10, 2008. Our first session will focus on the Grade Center capabilities of Blackboard 8.

Grade Center in Blackboard 8 is a new and much improved way of keeping track of students’ grades. This feature supports an interface similar to a spreadsheet, directed e-mail to students and the ability to generate progress reports.

If you are interested in participating (or even better, presenting) in our Blackboard Seminar Series, contact the Educational Technology development team or register online.
