Blackboard Drop-in Sessions

Got Questions? We Have Answers!

In anticipation of faculty support needs associated with the coming term and Blackboard upgrades,  DoIT will be offering additional weekly drop-in hours beginning Monday, December 9th. A DoIT staff member will be available to work one-on-one with users who show up during the designated times.

Drop-In sessions will focus on one of the many tools we support, including the following:
Given variation in user needs and scheduling, the Drop-In format will be as follows:
  1. Orientation (5 minutes): A quick overview of what the tool does. If all you want is a demo, come early.
  2. Recommendations (10 minutes): 1-2 tips based on our observations from providing faculty support, as well identification of effective practices  and practitioners.
  3. Q & A (40 minutes): This is your time. What do you want to know? What's a problem you'd like to solve or a new opportunity you'd like to explore?
In addition to the F2F sessions, DoIT will also offer virtual drop-in sessions using Blackboard's web-conferencing tool, Collaborate. Any faculty members with Bb questions may participate in these online sessions between 12:00 – 1:00 PM on the appointed date by visiting the following link: www.umbc.edu/go/collaborate

Please note that these are not formal Blackboard training classes. Additional dates and times may be added as demand warrants.
