IF YOU HAVE NOT PARTICIPATED IN ANY POST OR DISCUSSION ON OPENLAB OR BLACKBOARD, YOU NEED TO EMAIL ME ASAP (bkan@citytech.cuny.edu). THE REMAINDER OF YOUR GRADE THIS SEMESTER DEPENDS ON YOUR ENGAGEMENT ON THESE ONLINE PLATFORMS.
Tomorrow, March 17, during class time 8am or 10am, I’ll be streaming from blackboard. This will be a practice run for me and you to get our routine and make sure our set up is ok. I anticipate there will be technical difficulties, especially in the beginning, so this will be a good time to get them out of the way. The link to join class using blackboard are different depending on which of my 1275CO classes you are in.

Our backup plan will be using Webex, which is a platform that runs on any browser, using any device. For best results on your phone/tablet, download the Webex app from the app/play store. On a computer, there is also an application available on https://www.webex.com/. Once you have the apps, you can click on the link below pertaining to your class and hit “Join Meeting.”

I can’t force you to download the app for Webex, but:
1) It’s free.
2) If we end up using it, your experience will be much better.
My first choice will be Blackboard, if I don’t appear to be there when you enter the session, it’s possible I had technical difficulties and moved to Webex. If that happens, I’ll post on Openlab that we are meeting on Webex. Please keep up on Openlab for up to date information. I hope to see you all tomorrow online!
