Online Tutoring -

 

   Three Rivers students may access FREE online tutoring through Blackboard/Vista. All currently enrolled students are also automatically enrolled in a "course" called AskTASC. Students can meet with a tutor in a chat room with a white board. Log into MyCommNet, click on the link for Blackboard/Vista, select the AskTASC course, and choose "AskTASC Chat." For more information about this service call (860) 885-2311 or email Matt Burbine.

 

Online Questions-

 

   For shorter questions, The Three Rivers TASC provide online answers to questions through the same AskTASC "course." Follow the directions above, but instead choose "AskTASC Discussion." Post your question and a TASC tutor will respond within 24 hours (during the week).

 

Writing Help -

 

   Help with writing for any of your classes is available through the Three Rivers Writing Center. You can submit your paper by email and get feedback on it, usually within 24 hrs. This option is also available through the AskTASC "course" in Blackboard/Vista.

 

Testing -  

   The TRCC Testing Center may provide testing for your online courses if your instructor specifies. For testing information for TRCC students, click here.
