Academic Technologies

 

Student Services

Throughout the academic year, Academic Technologies provides a variety of services aimed at assisting students as they use technology to achieve their academic goals.

Blackboard Online Instruction
Blackboard is a Web-based course-management system designed to allow students and faculty to participate in classes delivered online or use online materials and activities to complement face-to-face teaching. Blackboard enables instructors to provide students with course materials, discussion boards, virtual chat, online quizzes, an academic resource center, and more.
 
Becoming a Student Technology Assistant
The Student Technology Assistant program provides an excellent opportunity for students with interests and skills in computers, Internet tools, and multimedia authoring software to enhance their knowledge and experience with additional training and hands-on work on projects. All Student Technology Assistants receive paid training in using various digital-media software and associated equipment, and are paid to work part-time at Academic Technologies supporting faculty and staff on a variety of technology-related projects.
 
Online Testing Center
The center is a free service provided to students by Academic Technologies. We offer course testing for Blackboard users as well as some other specialized tests. Our goal is to provide computer based testing in a proctored environment.

Orientation to Online Learning
This site has been developed primarily to provide an orientation to e-learning for Boise State students enrolled in courses using Blackboard, whether in an online distance course or as an adjunct to face-to-face teaching. In addition, the site provides information for students considering enrolling in a Blackboard-enhanced course, as well as technical support for students currently enrolled in Blackboard-enhanced courses.
 
Introduction to E-Learning
This online course enables students to develop skills and knowledge necessary for success in Web-enhanced courses. You can take a non-credit, self-study version of the course or take a 1-credit, instructor-assisted version. To preview or participate in the NON-CREDIT course, click the link above and then on PREVIEW on the next screen. If you are a registered Blackboard user, enter your user name and password on the next screen. You may register for the fully interactive 1-credit version of this five-week course via BroncoWeb.
