Okramail Gets an Overhaul!

Okramail was upgraded over the Thanksgiving holidays. The user interface has changed, but the same functionality is still available. It now has the look and feel more like Microsoft Outlook. You are now able to create contacts and still able to forward email, utilize spell check, change your password, add signature files, and create folders.

If you have any questions, please contact the Help Desk at 4444.


BlackBoard Learning System - CE project update

The upgrade to BlackBoard Learning System - CE (WebCT - CE 6) and integration with Banner is progressing. We have identified a pilot group to teach their courses in BlackBoard Learning System - CE for Spring 2007. The production launch of BlackBoard Learning System - CE to the campus is slated for Summer ’07. More details to come as the project moves forward.
