*Stated technology requirements are absolute minimums.
Additional software may be required for individual

The Center for Instructional and Learning Technologies "getting
started" web page is at http://www.cilt.und.nodak.edu/gateway/student/ and
addresses some of the basic technical questions
about using Blackboard for the first time.
"This was my first experience
with online classes. I will definitely
do more! I was beginning to think that
if you didn't live in a college town, continuing
your education was out of the question.
This has given me the opportunity to continue
my education without all the wasted hours
in the car." - ASD Student
