A CBMM course provides all course content, via a CD-Rom disk using audio, video, and text files. Developed by Virtual Education Software, Inc., a CBMM course provides instruction on strategies for teaching students with special behavioral and learning needs.
A CBMM course has no in-person meetings. There is no course information on Blackboard.
After installing the course compact disk into a personal computer, the course begins with basic start-up information. The course is set-up like a book with chapters and multiple choice exams. Students write essays in response to critical thinking questions and a review of journal articles. A detailed course syllabus provides student expectations.
No. All course work must be completed on the same computer used to initiate the program.
Do not panic or feel that you are getting behind. Materials are sent to students on the first day of the session and delivery may take up to four days. Materials are sent from Spokane, Washington via the U.S. mail. To ensure delivery, students should confirm that their mailing address is up-to-date in BroncoWeb.
An "Orientation Email" is sent before classes begin to your BroncoMail account. This email will provide great instructions about the course and should be printed for reference later. Students may contact the instructor using the email address on course syllabus.

No. CBMM courses are cross-listed with different academic departments, but have the same course title. It is the student’s responsibility to avoid enrolling in the same course twice. Students who do enroll in the same course are alerted of their error via BroncoMail. Check your unofficial transcript on BroncoWeb to view previous CBMM courses completed.

BroncoWeb is a user-friendly registration system that provides information on classes, including descriptions, credit hours, technology requirements, etc. When you access BroncoWeb, you have the ability to change your personal information (address and telephone number), view your semester class schedule, view your student financial account, and pay your tuition and fees - all online.
VESi courses write small text files to your hard drive to keep track of your student information, exam scores and progress through the course. The reasons you may not see previous work include:
You must view every screen in a chapter before you can access the exam. Click on course link. You will need an asterisk next to each topic before moving into an exam.
After you are finished writing your essays, click on Save. Do not click on Save As and specify a name or path for the file; the program will not be able to read it back in or print out at the end of class. If you changed location of file during save, you must search for file and print.
At the bottom of the evaluation form there is a “View Doc before Printing” checkbox. Checking this box will sometimes force the certificate to print. If you try this twice and still have no success, please contact VESi tech support a 1.800.313.6744.
