[BB] Today's webinar topics: NBC Learn and SafeAssign

Blackboard users,

I hope you are having an excellent spring break. Today, as every Wednesday, the Learning Platforms team will host our Virtual Office Hours Webinar, 3:30 pm to 4:30 pm. Please join us if you can. Go to http://tinyurl.com/umiamibb to join.

Todays topics are:
• Using NBC Learn Videos in Blackboard
• SafeAssign: Detecting Plagiarism in Student Submissions

If you haven't used the Blackboard Collaborate webinar system before, please start to get things set up at 3:00 pm. On Macs you have to load a special program to help get the webinar started.

Segments from previous sessions can be found by going to http://tinyurl.com/umiamibbarchive. These segments are on YouTube, so nothing special is needed to watch them.
