[BB] Safe Assign Upgrade & Upcoming Training

Blackboard Users,

 

Safe Assign is going to be upgraded during the day on Saturday (9.27). Users will NOT be able to submit to SafeAssign during this maintenance period. Please plan accordingly.

Enhancements include:

§         ability to accept .docx documents.

§         organization access to the Safe Assign functionality

 

Let me also direct your attention to some upcoming Lunch & Learn / Training sessions:

 

Copyright Basics Lunch & Learn – What’s fair when making copies or scanning material for your class or showing DVDs? We will discuss fair use, intellectual property, and the TEACH Act. Friday 9/26, 12:20-1:10 in Memorial classroom 200. Lunch will be served. Registration required.

 

Bb GRADE CENTER Training – If you need assistance with the new Grade Center, join us Friday, 10/3 from 2:30-3:30 in Memorial classroom 313. Registration required. Here are some additional resources:
   * Grade Center Basics documentation (15 pp.)
   * Getting Started with the Grade Center PDF (4 p.)

 

 

As always, please keep an eye on the Blackboard Update section of your Bb Home page and contact the Help Desk with any questions.

 

-Jennifer
