Over the next couple months, staff will be preparing their 2011/12 Blackboard sites so they are ready to use with students. There are several options available to help support you with this process. First is a series of articles explaining the key things you need to do to prepare your site for the upcoming semester.  There are also supported time sessions in July and August which are small group sessions where you can prepare your site with e-learning staff on hand to explain the process and provide support.
