Wellness is central to student success on campus and in life, and UACCM's Student Development office is adding more virtual means to address student concerns. Every week, Student Development will release a #WellnessWednesday video on topics that affect students in all areas, including academics, career, and life. "We'd love to know what you have questions about when it comes to student wellness," said Cody Davis, director of Student Development, in the inaugural video. "We are here to help you be successful."

  What is synchronous learning? Synchronous learning is a term that is used to describe forms of education, instruction, and learning that occur at the same time, but not in the same place. Students can attend an in-person lecture class virtually, while their classmates are on campus.    What time do I attend class? Synchronous courses will utilize Blackboard Collaborate, allowing students to be in the same learning environment, some virtually and some physically in the classroom. Students have the option to attend the physical classroom or log into the virtual class meeting. However, to be counted present, the student must be in class or logged into Collaborate at the scheduled class time.   How do I log into class?

Once inside the course, look for the "Collaborate" link on the left navigation menu. Click "Col...
