Blackboard upgrade: 5–7 August

This year’s annual Blackboard upgrade will take place from Friday 5 August until Sunday 7 August.  Blackboard will be unavailable from 6pm on Friday and should be back up again on Sunday afternoon but will be at risk until midnight on Sunday.

The upgrade offers several improvements including a new version of Collaborate (Collaborate Ultra), a Blackboard Support tab (providing assistance relevant to your role) and better handling of large file submissions.

For more information about features which will be in the new version of Blackboard, please see the TEL blog.
