Dear Blackboard Users,
The Blackboard system was upgraded to Service Pack 12. When you log in for the first time, you will be asked to create a profile. this is a new social feature but you are not required to complete it at this moment.
Here are a few valuable resources to familiarize yourself with the new Blackboard Learn features and be ready to integrate them in your instruction:
· On-Demand Learning Center: free access to video tutorials and getting started guides
· Feature Showcase: review all of the new features
· Help.Blackboard.com: assistance using the new Blackboard Learn platform, organized by role
· Educator Cohort: series of online meetings to familiarize educators with new features
In addition, The UMIT Learning Platforms team has scheduled workshops and online training classes for faculty, instructors, and their assistants. Please click here for more information: http://www.iacevents.org/.
If you have questions or concerns about these upcoming changes, please contact the Blackboard team at: (305) 284-3949 or blackboardhelp@miami.edu.
Sincerely,
Your Blackboard team
