After much planning and testing ITS can now confirm that our current Blackboard system (version 8.0) will be upgrading to version 9 in December.
As part of this upgrade process Blackboard will be unavailable from 5pm Friday 3 December till 9am Monday 20 December. During this time ITS will be moving papers from the current system to the new one. Please be aware we are only taking what we need with us in the move. If your students require access to teaching materials during the outage please contact the ITS HelpDesk (helpdesk@otago.ac.nz) and let them know.
If you would like to check if your paper is getting moved – check out the Blackboard Upgrade blog: List of papers being moved
If you would like to find out about the free seminars ITS Training is running throughout November – check out the Blackboard upgrade blog: Training for users
For more information on this upgrade see the Blackboard Upgrade blog, this blog will continue to be updated frequently with information about the upgrade and training, as well as highlighting the new features of Blackboard 9.
If you still have questions about the upgrade please contact the ITS HelpDesk (helpdesk@otago.ac.nz).
