				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Distance Education team has a new way to answer your questions and help with issues, as we are no longer able to check/receive internal messages in Blackboard 9 email or message format.</p>
<p>To better serve you and answer your questions promptly, we have installed a new mode of help desk communication, called eTicket. You can find the eTicket icon on the Course Content page in your Blackboard course as well as on the navigation menu under Help section.</p>
<p>You can also access eTicket on our website at <a href="http://de.alvernia.edu/eticket/">http://de.alvernia.edu/eticket/</a></p>
<p>Please, use the eTicket feature instead of Blackboard Messages to get technology help.<br />
Be sure to include your course number and section number, so that we may better assist you!</p>
