GSLIS instructors have the option of using the college's online course management system, eLearning (aka Blackboard/WebCT), to enhance both face-to-face and online courses. Instructors typically use eLearning to post syllabi and reading materials, and to hold online discussions.
Support for GSLIS Faculty and Students
GSLIS eLearning administrator Holly Erickson supports GSLIS faculty and students who are using eLearning. She is available for one-on-one training sessions for instructors, and to assist both instructors and students with general questions and troubleshooting. She can be reached at 617.521.2821 or GSLISeLearning@simmons.edu.
The Tech Lab maintains an eLearning Basics guide for students (available on the How To's page). Tech Lab staff are also available to answer students' questions in the Lab (P-213) or by phone at 617.521.2802.
