Is there help with BlackBoard?

It is staffed by student assistants who have taken classes using Bb. Student emails are answered the first weekend of the new term by Francine. A new TLC position was submitted to HR for classification study. It will include Blackboard admin duties not previously outlined in an LIA position.
Can I print on campus?
Yes, but we don't have a printer in our classroom
- Cost is 10¢ for bw; 50¢ for color
- You must open a printing account at one of the 3 PayStation machines located in the CTC, the Library or at the Watsonville Center. (kinda like an ATM but no refunds or cash back)
