Horizon Wimba
Horizon Wimba is a classroom collaboration software that works with Blackboard™ to create a live virtual classroom. Students and the professor log in at a predetermined time for the class session. Using a microphone and the Internet, the professor can give a lecture, go through a PowerPoint presentation and answer students’ questions. Students can also use Horizon Wimba to collaborate live on group projects.
Genisys
Students register for courses and manage their accounts and information entirely online through Genisys. Genisys consists of a public information area containing course schedules and descriptions, financial aid, admissions and contact information. It also contains a secure area for students and faculty to register online, view accounts and pay bills, check grades and transcripts, and update personal information.
Student Portal
Each student also has access to his or her own individualized Regent home page. This home page, or portal, can be customized to display relevant information such as the day’s headlines, stock reports, the weather forecast, important school dates and notices from the registrar. Most importantly, the portal provides single sign-on to Blackboard, Genisys and Webmail.
Webmail
Upon registering for classes, Regent issues each student his or her own e-mail account. Distance students can access this account online and manage their e-mail through Regent’s Webmail program.
