Annual Report

This year our University migrated
to BlackBoard, a Learning Man-
agement System (LMS). A series
of boot camps were organized
during the months of May, June,
July, and August. The goal of
these boot camps was to provide
faculty with appropiate training
to make use of the new LMS on
campus. A total of 67 faculty
members attended these camps.
