Hi, I'm William DeWysockie (don't try to pronounce my last name - just call me Bill). I'm the Blackboard Administrator at my institution. I write manuals and produce tutorials, and develop model courses for various innovative programs.

Look for me in Blackboard's Scholar. I have several Course Design and Learning Module sites bookmarked. Here is my username: wdewysockie. Also, I'm in Facebook if you want to look me up.

My vision...
One of our first assignments in the Blackboard Trainer Certification program was to write a brief statement of purpose. This statement outlines my goals as a Blackboard administrator and trainer. Read it if you would like to learn about my vision.

Meet some other Blackboard certified trainers here... They're a wonderful group of people and I'm very fortunate to be able to count many of them as friends.

And I have a page dedicated to some good distance learning books here.

New... Check out my edublog site at Google Blogger.

HOPE YOU CAUGHT IT...
