Remote Learning

  • Make sure that your email destination is up-to-date by signing into ELMO and checking Email Destination.
  • All courses have a Blackboard course homesite available at classes.alaska.edu or from any main UAS page (uas.alaska.edu). As a student registered for the course, you can access Blackboard by logging in with your UA username and password.
  • Review your syllabus on Blackboard. Your instructor may have made changes.
  • Check the Classlist for your instructor's contact information.
  • Blackboard for Students mobile apps are available on both iPhone and Android. When asked to input your university, use the University of Alaska.
  • Check your notification settings in your Blackboard profile. You can receive individual emails for each item, or a daily email summarizing all of it.
  • If you are new to Blackboard (or want a refresher) visit our Blackboard Help pages.
  • Collaborate with your classmates and continue working on group projects. There are multiple tools available for group voice and video chats. Every student has access to a UA Google account that comes complete with Google Drive for real-time, collaborative document editing and Google Chat for text, video, and audio conferencing. Students also have access to Zoom for video and audio conferencing. Claim your account at alaska.zoom.us.
  • After your instructor informs you of their new delivery method (Collaborate Ultra, Recordings, Discussion Board, or other resources), become familiar with any new tools.
  • If you need specific software, you can access Student Virtual computers online at mydesktop.uas.alaska.edu. For more information, check out the Student Virtual guidelines
