AskOnline

There hasn't really been much change from last semester to this except that the teachers to whom I normally promote AskOnline have begun to approach me about it. That's a nice change. There are a few new tutors in the lab this semester, so I'm hoping to recruit additional e-tutors for AskOnline. Last semester, we had about 5.

BlackBoard

I haven't had much need for this program since I teach mostly college prep courses that, in my humble opinion, should not be taught completely online. However, I am a TA for an instructor at FAU and found that it can be useful for students as an additional resource. I've had a few "beginner" issues such as completely loading a class only to find out that it was Fall 2009 rather than Spring 2010 (oops), but despite a few mishaps, it's been pretty easy. At this point, I'm only using it as a place to post course information and additional readings, but there is a possibility that we may use the discussion board later in the semester.
