Congratulations to Dr. Craig Hardesty, winner of a Blackboard Exemplary Course Award for MAC 1105 College Algebra!
According to Dr. Hardesty, the My College Algebra course has been designed to be as visually appealing and user friendly as possible. His goal was to make sure anyone logging on for the first time would know exactly where to go and what to do. While incorporating “Why College Algebra?” as a “real-world” theme, he has attempted to consistently use a variety of visual aids, videos, websites, careers, and discussions illustrating applications of the course concepts that surround us every day. Believing strongly that students need to see their online professors as real people with whom they can connect, he has also incorporated as much of himself as possible through use of a personalized orientation video series, video lectures, weekly video summaries of all assignments, etc.

Is there an announcement you wish to make at our upcoming Fall Faculty In-Service?
The planning committee is preparing an “Announcement Presentation” to recognize current administrative initiatives at Hillsborough Community College. Your message will be shown prior to the General Session to all attendees and post the event to the college on the CITT website.
There will be no time during the General Session to have each dean present announcements. This is a great opportunity to communicate the services available to faculty and students at your campus and within your programs. Join us in using this medium to collectively improve our communication, and enhance the impact of HCC in the community.
You can email your announcement, including any images, video clips, and links to the planning committee, attention Lauretta O’Dell at lodell@hccfl.edu. The committee will take care of the rest.
