This is a reminder about the Blackboard upgrade taking place this weekend.  We expect the upgrade to start at 6pm on Friday 26th and be completed in less than 24 hours. However Blackboard should be considered at risk on Sunday 28th, which means it may not be available if additional time is needed.

This will be an update to the Blackboard software to take advantage of new features and fixes.  We have a series of articles which will be available on the blog this week about these changes.  Some of them are already available for reading.

We know that there are some teaching programmes which will be affected by the downtime and we apologise for any inconvenience this causes. As always, the upgrade team will strive to minimise any downtime.
