Get up to speed on Blackboard over spring break

Spring break is a great time to get caught up on projects, including this crucial one: Preparing for the switch to Blackboard Learn from Angel, which goes off-line on Aug. 10. WSU has migrated last year’s summer and fall courses to the new system, and the Global Campus is offering six online workshops during spring break week:

10 a.m. March 16: Blackboard features and functions
1 p.m. March 16: Tests and quizzes
10 a.m. March 17: Rubrics
10 a.m. March 18: Communities
1 p.m. March 18: Grade Center
1 p.m. March 19: Video tools

To register for any of the webinars, visit the Global Campus eLearning site and choose Bb Learn from the Select Training Area dropdown.

Other spring break options include the drop-in lab—open 10-noon that week—and a live online chat function. More information is on the LMS Transition website, lmstransition.wsu.edu.

WSU Global Campus has also created a series of videos. Find them on YouTube.
