‘Blackboard’ Topic
Of UAS Course
‘‘Blackboard: Behind the Scenes’’ is a free course at UAS-Sitka Campus that explains the new online course to help students navigate the learning system.
UAS uses Blackboard to deliver eLearning courses and enhance face-to-face courses. Class features include how to create a blog post, submit an assignment, use a discussion board, submit a quiz, and post to a wiki. The course also provides tips to increase student success.
The three- to five-hour course was created by the award-winning UAS Sitka Instructional Design team.
“All students or prospective students are welcome to participate in this course,’’ said Kathi Baldwin, a lead designer. ‘‘There is no instructor attached. However, we welcome participants to try out the discussion assignments, blog and wiki assignments, take the quizzes and examine their grade book, so that they can gain confidence in using the features that a real online course will be using.”
Students can find the course on the UAS site: http://www.uas.alaska.edu/sitka/support/learning.html

Property Reviews
Planned by City
The City and Borough of Sitka assessor’s office is giving notice to Sitka residents that property reviews are being conducted throughout town.
Reviews will be conducted 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Any property owner who has pulled a building permit or bought a home in the last year can expect a visit from the Assessing Department. Cyclical inspections will also be conducted as mandated by Sitka General Code and Alaska State Statute. The program consists of assessing personnel and verifying the condition, quality, and features of all buildings. This ensures that the information in the assessment record is consistent with the actual property and ultimately ensures equitable tax assessments, the city said.
For more information about this process and the areas currently being inspected, visit the website at: www.cityofsitka.com or call the Assessor’s Office at 747-1822.
