COB Teaching Resources — Student Resource Information Page

While the Delphi has a significant amount of resources for being a successful online student, the amount of resources available can be overwhelming to our students who just need to know the basics (and slightly more).

Abby Koenig and Kathy Gosser have created a resource for the most useful Blackboard tools for our students that have little to no experience. If you need assistance posting this or any other questions, please let Abby Koenig or Kathy Gosser know and we would be happy to help.
