We would like to announce an upgrade of Blackboard for 2017. We have scheduled the upgrade to happen between 9 am Wednesday, 19 April until 9 am Friday, 21 April. This will mean that there will be no access to Blackboard during this timeframe.
This upgrade to Blackboard includes several behind the scenes improvements including:
- Submission receipts for students submitting an assignment.
- Drag and drop files for some areas, including students submitting assignments.
- New Icons for items in Blackboard.
- Many bug fixes including repairing reliability of the Last Access functionality.
You can keep up-to-date with news about this update by following the ITS Service Desk notices (http://www.otago.ac.nz/its/servicenotices/) and here on the eLearning blog (www.otago.ac.nz/elearning).
