• Online Training
  Are you located off campus and can't attend a Blackboard training session? Or are you located out of state and teaching an online class and need training for Blackboard? The Faculty Resource Center offers training through Adobe Connect, which is synchronous online training. With Adobe Connect users can join a live meeting run by a host. The trainer and trainee can share desktops for an in-depth demonstration of Blackboard features and tools. Examples of online training sessions include Blackboard Basics and Managing your Blackboard Course.
