WSU Global Campus instructors can request a Virtual Mentor for their fall 2016 online courses through Course Verification. Here’s how it works:
- Sign in to Blackboard Learn at learn.wsu.edu
- Within My Courses, select the Course Verification link for your course
- Select the Virtual Mentors tab
- Select Request Virtual Mentor (if you’re not interested, ignore the tab)
- For technical problems, contact Technical Support at wsuonline.support@wsu.edu or 509-335-4320
VMs will be assigned to courses this week. The popularity of this program has grown tremendously over the last couple of years, so please don’t delay in submitting your request.
For those unfamiliar with the program, a VM is typically a WSU Global Campus senior or graduate who assists with minor non-content-related issues, freeing up the instructor to teach. This program is especially beneficial to instructors who are new to teaching Global Campus courses, have large enrollment courses, or blended courses.
