Course documents, Daily Practice, major assignments, and class emails are available through the
Blackboard learning management system or through your VCU portal . You are required to check
Blackboard on a regular basis and are completely responsible for the consequences of not
reading announcements, assignments, or other posts in a timely fashion. The library has
computers with Internet connections available for student use. If you have technical difficulties
with Blackboard, VCU email, or your computer, it is your responsibility to resolve those
difficulties through the appropriate channels in a timely manner. The technology help desk can
be reached at 828-2227 or at IT Support Center Online .
Digital Technologies and Online Learning and Sharing
Increasing your digital fluency and developing an informed online presence are important
aspects of your university experience. The Department of Focused Inquiry encourages the
innovative use of a variety of technologies to enhance your learning. As a UNIV student, you
will be expected to participate in online learning over the course of your work in this class.
Working in an online environment opens up tremendous learning and sharing possibilities;
however, it also creates unique challenges especially regarding your privacy and intellectual
property rights. It is therefore important for you to know your rights and responsibilities when
learning, sharing, and posting academic work online.
Visibility
Many online platforms allow you to control the visibility of your work (i.e. restricted to specific
users, restricted to the VCU community, or publicly accessible). At a minimum, you must allow
4

your instructor to view your work. Please consult with your instructor if you would like more
information about restricting the visibility of your online content.
Licensing compliance
Familiarize yourself with any user licensing agreements and applicable laws that may apply to
the technologies you use. You should understand and comply with end-user licenses, platform
policies, and applicable laws for any open-or protected-access sites that you use in support of
your academic work. This includes sites such as Blackboard, YouTube, Google Drive,
Slideshare, or any cloud storage you might use.
Intellectual Property Rights
You have intellectual property rights to the work you generate in support of your studies at VCU
as described on VCU Intellectual Policy Statement. If a class project requires use of a site for
which users must waive intellectual property rights, you have the right to utilize an alternate
platform for posting or submission of your materials. Please consult with your instructor for
more information.
