We manage our distance learning courses through Blackboard, a course management software that is also used for on-campus classes. Blackboard provides a central location for all course information materials including: course syllabus, instructions and messages from your instructors, class materials and presentations to download, a “drop box” to submit assignments, and a secure site to view grades for assignments and courses. When you are registered for a course, you will be automatically enrolled in that course on Blackboard.  While most articles are posted in the course blackboard, textbooks are obtained from MBS books website.  Books may be ordered several weeks before the course begins.
