New to Online Learning or Blackboard? Heading link
To accommodate students who are new to online learning, students are given access to the CNM Blackboard course sites approximately one week before the class begins. During this time, students are expected to become familiar with the course website and menu options. Activities during the first week of class give students a chance to get to know each other through the development of personal homepages and other introduction exercises.
