Welcome to the second week of Summer 2007 Quarter!

Dear MSB Online Learner:

Welcome to the second week of the Summer 2007 Quarter!

Perfect Attendance is awarded each quarter to students who:

o Log in three times per week into each of their courses (Monday – Sunday)
To ensure that your activity is being logged, click into multiple areas of your courses each time you log in. For example, check your grades, check class discussion board, and/or check your unit content for the week.
- and -
o Participate in all required discussion boards
Students who achieved perfect attendance for the Spring 2007 Quarter will also receive 20% off their books for the Winter 2007 Quarter. There is no carry over.

Log into your classes as often as possible. Online learners find that frequent participation in the course room enriches the learning experience for everyone. The collaborative learning environment created by sharing perspectives in the course room can be one of the most valuable aspects of your learning experience.

As a friendly reminder, the Education Department would like to reiterate that a main factor in your academic success is attending your classes. Excessive absenteeism places you in serious jeopardy of being withdrawn from school. Our attendance policy at Globe University/Minnesota School of Business, states that the maximum course interruption is two weeks during any one quarter.

If you have any questions or need assistance, please feel free to contact the Education Department at 1-877-609-8889.

What is Pronto?

Online students now have a new resource available to facilitate real time communication between students and faculty! Imbedded within your Blackboard courses, you will find an instant messaging system named “Pronto”.

Pronto is an instant messaging and voice chat tool that allows students and instructors to spontaneously meet live online at any time to discuss their coursework. Pronto is unique to education because it integrates with Blackboard and it works to automatically populate students’ contact lists with their classmates’ names, thereby making it easy for students to spontaneously collaborate live online. With Pronto, students simply log on to their computers and instantly see who’s online from their classes without even have to log into Blackboard. Pronto can be found under the “Tools” section in each Blackboard course.
