Spring training for Blackboard Users!
Tuesdays 4-5pm (CDT)
February 26 - April 9
In preparation for the start of the summer term Dr. Trifilo is offering players (instructors) the opportunity to try out new tools and improve their skills with familiar ones. While we can't offer travel to warmer climes we will offer weekly sessions 'live' or recorded to fit your schedule and view at your leisure.
Each weekly session will introduce a Blackboard tool, discuss settings, best practices for use, how they can be used to enhance the learning experience, and point out pitfalls you might encounter when using the tool. In the live collaborate sessions you can see the demonstration, ask questions, and clarify issues. So suit up in those practice uniforms and bat 1000 in Blackboard.
