This page is a temporary place to provide links to information for University 101 instructors about the topics on the "Blackboard in UNIV101" handout that James Winfield shared with me. (Summer 2018).
Blackboard in UNIV101 handout (pdf)
The HANDOUTS have been uploaded at the bottom of the page; the KNOWLEDGE BASE articles are links to the USC Service Portal (http://sc.edu/ITHelp); you may need to log in to access those. Links to BLACKBOARD HELP link to a page in the company Help site. Note that the files open in a new window.
My hope is to fill in gaps with links to additional information and simplify some of the handouts I have attached. Please let me know if any of the links don't work. Thank you,
Susan Quinn susanq@sc.edu
