Enterprise State Community College has announced two new additions to its distance learning program: mobile applications for Blackboard and Proctor U.
The Blackboard mobile applications are available for most Smartphones and may be downloaded fro Internet.
Students will have the ability to log-in to their online courses from any location and access them at anytime.
“In today’s mobile lifestyle, students’ needs have changed tremendously,” said Amy Wise, ESCC distance learning specialist. “Adding the ability for students to log-in to their online courses from a mobile device no matter where they are is a necessity.”
Proctor U is an around the clock exam proctoring service that is now available for distance learning students.
“This is great for students that may not be able to drive to campus or have difficult work hours,” Wise said. “This is the first time ESCC has offered Proctor U and it’s relatively new to higher education. We’re excited to be on the forefront of modern technology.”
To use Proctor U students need to schedule the exam and pay at least three days in advance to avoid an additional $5 late reservation fee.
Students without an appointment can take their exam on demand within 15, 30, or 45 minutes using the premiere "Take It Now" feature.
Late registrations and "Take it Now" exams are subject to availability.
The fee is $25 per exam and a webcam is required.
“ESCC continuously seeks to provide innovative methods to enhance instruction and services to our students,” said Wanda Flowers, associate dean of distance learning. “We are proud to provide these services to our students.”
Fall registration is now underway and classes begin Monday, August 20.
