-Each Miller College student, faculty/staff is given   a password account to use for Web-Advisor, Blackboard, and e-mail.

-User accounts are monitored to ensure that they are   legitimate accounts.  Accounts are also   monitored for storage and network resources used by each account

-Blackboard usage by each student can be monitored by   each faculty member for courses that students are enrolled in.  The Miller College Technology Supervisor   (Kottke) can easily access that data as needed for faculty or administration.
