The Digital Campus. The Digital Campus serves Fresno State students, faculty, and staff by providing access and support for Blackboard - an online course management system used for delivering dynamic, interactive online courses and for fostering online communication for campus organizations.

Whether here on campus or located remotely in the region or overseas, enrolled students can participate in the Digital Campus experience by taking either Web-enhanced courses that supplement the traditional classroom experience, or Web-based courses that are taught fully online, or multimode courses that combine the traditional classroom experience with more than half the class taught fully online.

Blackboard. Online courses are delivered through Blackboard, a powerful Web-based e-Learning portal system. Students have access to Blackboard with a single login at http://blackboard.csufresno.edu/. Students have 24/7-access to Blackboard in order to do the following:

• View or print syllabi and lecture notes
• View video and audio provided by faculty
• Engage in discussions with fellow students
• Meet faculty and students in a virtual classroom
• Submit assignments
• Take quizzes and exams online
• Check grades

Course Catalog. A listing of courses hosted by Digital Campus is available by going to http://blackboard.csufresno.edu and clicking on the Course Catalog button. The courses listed use Blackboard to enhance or replace traditional face-to-face instruction. Some courses allow guest access by providing a preview button. In the online class schedule search, select "Digital Campus" as the location to find a list of fully online courses. The Digital Campus also posts a list on the Web site www.csufresno.edu/digitalcampus of footnote 15 (Web-enhanced courses); footnote 17 (fully online courses); and footnote 57 (multimode courses).

Here to Help. In the fall semester of 2005 more than 18,000 students and 600 faculty participated in Digital Campus online courses. The Digital Campus provides training for students, faculty, and staff through workshops, one-on-one consultation, and drop-in assistance. Digital Campus is located on the third floor of the Industrial Technology building. The staff of instructional designers, trainers, technologists, and production assistants are available to help.
