Internal usernames on Blackboard will change from the UM Email Alias to the UM ID on July 1, 2013. This change is required in order to work with a new video system, Kaltura, and to integrate with the CaneLink system.
This should not cause any change in behavior of the Blackboard system. You will still login with CaneID and students will be identified by first name and last name in discussion board posts.
Once this change is made you will be able to search by username (UM ID or C-number), first name, last name, or email address when adding students to your class sites.
If you have questions or experience problems, email the Blackboard Help Desk at blackboardhelp@miami.edu, or call 305-284-3949 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m, Monday through Friday.
