[BB] Fall 2005 Courses

Hello Blackboard Users,

 

The Fall 2005 courses have been hidden from the current courses option. In order to view the Fall 2005 courses you may need to click on the “All Courses” tab in Blackboard. Theses courses will remain on the system for at least 2 years. This change was made on Friday, March 3^rd, 2006. Please let us know if you have any questions.

[BB] Safe Assignment updated

Blackboard users,

 

Our Safe Assignment feature, the original writing analyzer, has been updated from version 2.0.3 to version 2.0.4.  This is a bug-fix only, designed to improve stability and make things easier when courses with Safe Assignments are copied.  There are no new features.  If any problems with SafeAssignment are encountered, please notify blackboard@miami.edu or call 284-3949 to let us know.
