IMPORTANT REMINDER: Required Blackboard sessions are being held this week and next for summer online students. If you haven’t attended a session yet, please make plans to do.
Attn: Students who took an online course at Elon in 2002 or 2001 — Please have your instructor contact our office if you would like to be exempted from attendance and haven’t already spoken with us. You may also call (ext. 5000) or come by our offices in Belk Library, Suite 115. In any case, make sure we get your name and the course you’re taking.
Many of the faculty teaching online courses will meet with their students either directly before or after one of these sessions. Please check the schedule below or ask your instructor to determine which session you should attend. Some instructors will meet with students separately; in that case, just attend whichever session is most convenient for you. Be sure to check with your instructor regarding the class meeting with him or her.
Sessions will be held at the following times:
Wednesday, 4/30, 4:00-4:30 p.m. (Prof. Robert Anderson’s POL111 class meets before this session, and John Duvall’s JCM344 class meets afterward.)
Wednesday, 4/30, 7:30-8:00 p.m. (Prof. Jennifer Platania’s ECO201 class meets before this session.)
Thursday, 5/1, 4:00-4:30 p.m. (Prof. Scott Glass’s GST371 class meets before this session.)

Notes:
– No registration is necessary.
– Please be sure to sign in at whichever session you attend!
– In each session, we’ll explain how to access library databases from off campus and get technical support during the summer term. We’ll also discuss troubleshooting and other related topics. In addition, we’ll demonstrate some features in Blackboard that you may be unfamiliar with but which will likely be used in your summer course (e.g., discussion forums, online quizzes, the digital dropbox and editing your home page).
