Blackboard online
virtual classrooms open starting the first day of the
semester (no access to online class(es) before this time).
You will find the class you are enrolled in through the blue
hyperlink listed with the class name & section #.
NOTE: Every semester about
a week prior to the first day of class, I email all enrolled
students a letter of introduction and provide some preclass information. If you are not an enrolled student see the class
links or email me for further information.
A variety of instructor designed streamed-media are included in my History 16, History 17 and History 4 courses which makes learning fun, exciting, and "brings history alive."
