Blackboard "Jump Start" Trainings This Week

Are you new to teaching at MCC? Have you been here for a while and have now decided to start using Blackboard? If you answered "YES" to either of those questions, maybe you should consider getting a "Jump Start" to Blackboard!

We will be offering three Jump Start sessions this week for those who desire to start using Blackboard to web-enhance their course. You can learn more about Jump Start and register for the training by completing the Jump Start registration form.

If you aren't able to attend one of the Jump Start sessions, you can still register for our online, self-paced Level 1 Blackboard certification course by completing the Blackboard Training Request Form. You can read more about the Blackboard certification process or contact the Virtual Campus for more information at VirtualCampus@monroecc.edu or 292-3440.

Still not sure? Check out these top reasons to start using Blackboard...

  • Easy 24/7 access for students to all of your course information and course content
  • Keep students posted on their grades during the entire semester in a confidential manner
  • Incorporate web-based content such as videos and websites
  • Embed or attach your PowerPoint presentations in one central location
  • Keep students up-to-date using announcements and the course calendar
  • Get to know your students using the class photo roster tool - The class photo directory that used to be available in Banner is now available in your individual Blackboard course.

Also keep in mind that we offer Blackboard drop-in support in the Faculty Innovation Center (Building 3, Room 122-A), Monday thru Friday from 8:45am - 4:45pm (12-1pm, by appointment only).

Thanks for considering this opportunity, and best wishes for the new semester!
