What’s New?! BlazeVIEW! (powered by Blackboard Vista 8)
When VSU transitions to Blackboard Vista Version 8 in June 2009, our online course management system formerly called WebCT Vista will now be called BlazeVIEW. This hands-on session is intended for existing WebCT Vista users and will provide an overview of some of the changes between WebCT Vista and BlazeVIEW.
Intro to BlazeVIEW (powered by Blackboard Vista 8)
This session is intended for new or beginning users. In this workshop, you will get a hands-on introduction to the Section Designer role in BlazeVIEW (VSU’s online course management system). The focus will be on the features and functions of the BlazeVIEW Learning Module, managing and sharing your content, and organizing your content and other BlazeVIEW course tools into a learning path for students. Bring your syllabus or lecture notes with you as a Word file, webpage, or other document file, and leave this workshop with your materials in BlazeVIEW.
BlazeVIEW Grade Book
This introductory workshop will provide an overview of the VSU Vista Grade Book features, creating and managing grade book columns, entering student grades, creating calculated columns, column settings, editing and overriding grades, audit history, denying and granting student access, and backing up your section grades by exporting to a spreadsheet. Workshop participants will work hands on in a VSU Vista training section.
Respondus 101 Workshop
Respondus is a Windows application that enhances the functions and features of WebCT's quiz, survey, and self-test tools.
