Support and Resources for Online Classes at GU/MSB


At the online division of Globe University/Minnesota School of Business (GU/MSB), we know that a college should not offer online classes in a vacuum. Learning online is challenging and requires discipline. Our college makes sure that students have all the tools they need to succeed. To learn more about our support system for distance education, contact the online division of GU/MSB. Call us toll-free at 877-609-8889.

You’re not alone with our online classes

We don’t just give you a login and password and turn you lose on the online world. Instead, we require an online orientation and provide you with a well-staffed help desk to get you started with your online classes. Our support system includes:

  • Online library
  • Blackboard™
  • IM, chat and e-mail
  • Tutorials

Technical SupportDetails about our support system for online learners

Our online library includes thousands of articles, many academic and specialty databases, reference works, technical publications and e-books. We also provide online library instruction as well as an online librarian available to answer your questions via phone, text, e-mail and chat. We supply online tutorials so you can learn how to use these valuable tools without coming to a bricks and mortar library.

 

IM, chat and e-mail facilitate communication between faculty and students. Instructors have online office hours. They assign projects that require students to collaborate using e-mail. They require online discussions. If students need help familiarizing themselves with these online communication tools, they can complete online tutorials that will bring them up to speed.

We also provide tutorials in basic computer operations and MS Office™ so that students do not spend precious time struggling with new applications. We are here to help students learn. Knowing how to use the software gives students more time to focus on their courses.

We continually evaluate online teaching and support tools so that our online students have the best available. Our goal is to ensure that the mechanisms we use to deliver course content do not distract students from their educational goals.
