01:01:47 alexandra pickett: Hi everyone!
01:07:04 Joe Scampoli: We don’t have Blackboard messaging enabled.
01:07:47 Geralynn Demarest: Does the “Ask a question” go to email or do we need to go to that area to see that thread?
01:08:37 alexandra pickett: Joe – i saw in the CGCC template something that said email your professor… if the Bb email is not enabled can you check to make sure that link is going to the right thing?
01:09:19 alexandra pickett: “ask a question” is set up typically as a “discussion forum”
01:09:49 Joe Scampoli: Alex – We do have Bb email enabled, but not Bb messaging.
01:09:58 alexandra pickett: it is intended to help faculty keep questions out of email and in the course in a public area so all students can see the questions
01:10:08 alexandra pickett: oh… ok. joe. great.
01:11:16 alexandra pickett: i would recommend that faculty keep private interactions with students within the course shell in BB. so that they stay associated with the course that the student is in – especially important is the instructor teaches multiple courses.
01:13:26 alexandra pickett: sorry… dropped out for a sec. internet is acting up 🙂
01:16:22 Gregg Berninger: I replied…
01:16:43 Joe Scampoli: Many times students think that if they send an email from within Blackboard, that they should look for the reply in Blackboard.
01:24:03 Joe Scampoli: You can also provide video feedback in this grading screen.
