Blackboard Offering Remote Training Series for Instructors

Blackboard is offering ongoing, free webinars to help with the transition to remote teaching. The sessions are designed for Instructors who are just getting started with teaching using Blackboard Learn and Blackboard Collaborate, as well as those who have started to transition to deliver instruction remotely and are looking to make some improvements.

Many of us had to quickly transition to remote teaching. This journey to teaching remotely is a process, and Bb wants to ensure that we have the tools we need to be successful.

These live webinars, presented by professional staff, cover basic topics to advanced. More topics have been added to help, as we prepare for our next semester.
