About Blackboard Vista

At MxCC, we offer many fully online courses and also offer support to faculty who would like to use Blackboard Vista in their on-ground courses. Some of our faculty use this as a storage space, in which they post their syllabus, course schedule, assignment details, and lecture notes. Other on ground faculty use the online grade book so that students can log on and know how well they performed on graded assignments. Others use the product to continue on-ground discussions. We will support you in your effort to integrate technology in your on ground course. We will support you in the development of a fully online course. Attend a group training, go over online training, or schedule an individual session. We are available for assistance with both the technological aspects and the curriculum implementation. We are committed to enhancing the teaching and learning in your classroom.
