Would you be prepared if something happened and you could not teach your class? It doesn’t matter if it’s the H1N1 flu or a broken limb there is always that chance of an extended emergency. These emergencies apply to your students as well as you. Blackboard is a college wide tool that offers instructors the option to interact with their students outside of the face-to-face classroom. Using Blackboard in such a case would require some advance preparation. If this option of emergency preparation is something that interests you Middlesex Interactive will be offering 3 upcoming workshops:
• Wednesday Evening 10/07/09, in the Kerouac room of the Lowell Campus Library 4:00pm – 6:00pm.
• Saturday Morning 10/24/09, in the Alcott room of the Bedford Campus Library 8:00am – 10:00am.
• Wednesday Afternoon 10/14/09, in the Kerouac room of the Lowell Campus Library 2:00pm – 4:00pm
