Did you know…eNews is an academic resource for Regent's faculty and instructional staff?  This online newsletter provides a forum for Regent University faculty members to publish their teaching projects, as well as their best practices, viewpoints, and works related to enhancements for teaching and learning.

Here is your opportunity to exchange ideas and information on teaching and learning with fellow colleagues.  If you would like to submit an article to eNews, simply email your article containing approximately 600 words to enews@regent.edu. eNews encourages discussion of innovative technology, classroom research, opinions, and other initiatives of interest to faculty.

Blackboard 7.3 introduces several significant changes to the online interface. The biggest change faculty and students will notice is the upgraded Discussion Board. The new features allow you to:

1. Save drafts of postings for later
2. Moderate discussion boards
3. Tag and rate discussion entries
4. Grade discussion board postings directly in the discussion board
5. Search threads comprehensively
6. Subscribe to discussion threads or forums to automatically receive emails when new postings are made
7. Access better discussion board statistics
