Hi Denise, With the hybrid courses you teach you are looking at two environments, online and on-site. The online site can be made supportive and comfortable in relation to navigation and use, etc. The on-site one based upon the physical aspects of the setting. The addition to this is the use of Blackboard. This to me is value added support. There are so many things you can do with Blackboard that help students have access to resources, each other and faculty. We use Blackboard at our university and I really appreciate having this resource as a faculty member. Gary
