Tutorials for Students: Blackboard/MaineStreet/email/Elluminate - a page of student-oriented tutorials on all manner of online technologies. Do you have ideas for new things to be included here?
Online Student Services - create a link to this page in your Blackboard site for Student Support.
This page replaces the former Student Services Content area in CTEL course templates. This format allows us to edit the content as necessary with the migration to the new Content Management System and update information on any student services without your having to edit your own site information. The content available on this page fills in some critical information for students right within your course site.
Please add it to your course as follows:
