Are online classes right for you?

Online classes are very different than traditional courses.  Make sure they are right for you by utilizing the Online Orientation modules on the Hinds Community College eLearning Website Links to an external site..

The orientation will provide valuable information for you that will prepare you for online course delivery.  It includes information about Policies and Procedures, a SmarterMeasure assessment, Top Ten Tips for Success, Blackboard training, and important dates for this semester.

Canvas Orientation
Beginning summer 2013, Hinds will be using Canvas (in place of Blackboard) as the learning management system for all courses.  Students can use this link to explore some of the basic functions of Canvas including how to navigate the system, submit assignments, take assessments, view announcements, post to discussion boards, and more!   Click Here to access the student tutorials.
