Spring 2009 Blackboard Vista Faculty Training

Faculty teaching an online, hybrid, or classroom-based course with a web component must attend and complete Blackboard Vista Training. The training includes both face-to-face and online elements. This year, a completely online option will be available.

Since Fall 2007, the Community College of Aurora requires classroom-based instructors to use basic conveniences of Blackboard Vista: store syllabi and course handouts, and use the grade book and email features.  THIS IS NOT OPTIONAL
