Research & Scholarship Meet & Mingle

Based on a suggestion from a new faculty member, this event will help people meet other faculty who could be collaborators on research, scholarly, or creative projects. We'll be just organized enough to help folks with complementary interests cluster together. Enjoy some wine and cheese, and come with your ideas to share!

Blackboard Update!

In Summer 2013 quarter, our Blackboard will be updated to Blackboard 9.1 Service Pack (SP) 11. We are currently using Blackboard 9.1 SP 7. The update is not a major change, but will provide enhancements, new features, and fixes for known issues. For a quick overview, see the “What's New” document.

To help you make the transition, eLearning has scheduled several short demo sessions. All demos will be at the University Library Room 2913. Register at https://elearning.csupomona.edu/events.php .
