Blackboard Users,
The SSL certificate for Blackboard is scheduled to be updated on Sunday morning, 6/18/2017, between 2am and 6am. The SSL certificate is used to allow for encryption between your browser and the Bkackboard server. This change should not create any problems or issues, but I wanted to let you know in case you see a warning or request to accept the new certificate.
Please contact the Learning Platforms help desk at blackboardhelp@miami.edu or 305-284-3949 if you need assistance. The help desk is staffed Sat and Sun 9am-2pm, M-Th 9am-9pm, F 9am-6pm,.

[BB] A new teaching tool: VoiceThread on Blackboard
Summer is a great time to think about how to improve the student learning experience in your classes. A series of webinars have been announced in June and July that cover a Blackboard tool called VoiceThread. If you have time, please sign up for one or more of these sessions to learn about this tool and then reflect about how you could incorporate it into your courses. Session topics include "VoiceThread and STEM Classes,: "VoiceThread and Storytelling," and "VoiceThread for Nursing Educators."
If you plan to use it in your classes, please let us know so we can help, if needed, and also share your experience with other faculty at the Univerisity of Miami.
