Student Help Desk:  Transitioning to Online Learning Successfully

---

As you are aware, Lawson State is transitioning all classes to an online course delivery (via Blackboard) to enable students and faculty to better protect themselves against the Coronavirus by remaining off campus.  We will be delivering courses online until classes resume (back on campus) on Monday, April 6th.  Transitioning to an online learning environment can be intimidating if you have never taken an online course.  Lawson State is dedicated to your success, so review the resources on this page to assist you in having a successful transition.
