eMentors
Each campus has eMentors that can help you with the skills needed to succeed. eMentors provide training and support to faculty who require foundational learning in the use of Web course management tools (Blackboard, Angel). eMentors are available to mentor faculty in basic LMS applications and technology on an informal basis at the convenience of the eMentor and trainee.

Webinars / Watch, listen and ask questions
Webinars are online seminars. You watch from your computer monitor and use your phone for audio. This does mean you have to have simultaneous access to the internet and a phone line to participate. They usually run about 1 to 2 hours and cover a particular topic in a CMS. These will be included on the training schedule. A notification will also be send via email for these webinars. You may suggest a topic for a webinar by emailing Paige Brooks-Jeffiers.
