In case of a need to quickly transition online we want to make sure that people who are not comfortable using Blackboard are able to get trained in doing so as quickly as possible. We have created a multitude of trainings for this to be as successful as possible.

Please refer to the links below for training opportunities in the upcoming weeks. 

Mercy Online offers eight different training workshops:
