The Blackboard 9 page located under the Education menu provides details regarding Blackboard, Blackboard policies & procedures, reference and how-to materials, and access to upcoming workshops.

WordPress
WordPress is a popular Web-based content management and blog publishing tool. Instructional designers are available to help you build a WordPress site as a collaborative site to be accessed by your students.

Dreamweaver
We will provide special assistance on the use of Dreamweaver for your course Web site.

Presentation Applications

Captivate (Adobe)
Simulate the use of an application and engage learners with interactivity and multimedia through Adobe Captivate.  We will help you build and publish your eLearning content to your Web site or Blackboard that will enable your participants to access from any computer that is connected to the Internet.

PowerPoint
An instructional designer will help you design a PowerPoint presentation that will convey your message to your audience and effectively support your narration.

Presenter (Adobe)
Import your existing Microsoft PowerPoint content into Adobe Presenter and make it more engaging with rich media, voice narration, and interactivity.  Publish the presentation to include closed-captioning  for access through the Internet.

Prezi
Prezi offers another alternative to PowerPoint.  We will help you design a presentation  in a non-linear  fashion -viewing the big picture concepts and then zooming in  to look at the individual details.
