A note to those of you who are using an external email, if you are using an AOL or Comcast email address as you Blackboard email address, please use an alternate email. The SUNO email server does not send or reply to email addresses with those host names. Yahoo email addresses are a good substitution.

January 8, 2008 - The Office of E-Learning is has loaded all 100% online students.

A note the instructors who are using an external email, if you are using an AOL or Comcast email address as you Blackboard email address, please use an alternate email. The SUNO email server does not send or reply to email addresses with those host names and consequently, some of your students may not receive your emails. Yahoo email addresses are a good substitution. Using the Message feature in Blackboard is also a great way to ensure that your students are receiving your messages.

Instructors, if you desire to have your course Blackboard Enhanced, please call us in the Office of E-Learning @ 504.286.5367.
