As announced last July, we have been transitioning the blogs and wikis tools available inside of Blackboard during this academic year. As part of this transition we will be disabling the ability to add Campus Pack Blog and Campus Pack Wiki tools from 28 May.

These tools will no longer be supported by the supplier, and therefore may not work correctly in future versions on Blackboard, such as that we are upgrading to this summer. As a result, please do not use Campus Pack Blogs and Campus Pack Wikis on Blackboard sites for students taught during this summer and beyond.

The blog, journal and wiki tools available currently by default in Blackboard sites will remain available, though at the upgrade blog will be renamed ‘Shared blog’ and journal renamed ‘Private blog’ to clarify the functionality provided by the two tools.

If you are interested in using blog and wiki functionality with your students, we encourage you to talk to your faculty e-learning contact as they are available to support you through this transition.
