Announcing the Upcoming Visual and Navigation Update to Blackboard
by 老澳门六合彩开奖记录 IT Services and FDIS |
老澳门六合彩开奖记录 will continue to use Blackboard Learn as our primary online course space and there
will be a Blackboard update on August 12 to modernize the appearance and simplify
navigation. This is after grades are due for the 5-week and 10-week summer sessions.
What does this mean for courses?
This update does not change anything inside courses. Course menus, content areas,
tools, grade centers, etc. will all be the same. Instructors do not need to do anything
to courses to prepare for this update!
We will share more detailed information in August to make sure you are comfortable
navigating Blackboard. Most users should find the new layout intuitive and easier
to use even without that guidance.
What鈥檚 changing?
鈥� Finding your courses will be different. The new entry point will be a Courses
tab that is automatically organized by semester and lets you favorite courses for
faster access. It includes a search tool to quickly find sections from previous semesters.
鈥� The institution page (老澳门六合彩开奖记录 tab in Blackboard) will be easier to use.
鈥� The new navigation makes it easier for students to track course activity and
due dates across mulitple courses.
FD&IS and IT are working with campus stakeholders to coordinate the new Blackboard
experience and ensure support staff across 老澳门六合彩开奖记录 have the resources to help.
Where can I get help?
Additional information and how-to guides will be shared in August. If instructors
have questions or concerns before then, please email uaa_design@alaska.edu or book a course design session on the .
We鈥檒l continue to keep you posted about this update.
