Blackboard

Blackboard is available in a new version.  The new version makes a few improvements without substantial changes to the interface.

The Blackboard support staff at the Library have scheduled Blackboard Grade Center Workshops and Walk-In Hours for April & May.

The procedure for listing your students in a Blackboard site is far from intuitive. We're hoping the Blackboard company changes it in the next release!

Meanwhile, here how to list your students.

The Penn Libraries have provided a helpful page of Frequently Asked Questions About Blackboard for students. During the 2010 Summer Term, the Penn Libraries upgraded the Blackboard Learning System from version 8.0 to version 9. This page is intended to help student users with this new version.

Our Blackboard courseweb has been upgraded to version 9. The new Blackboard contains a new interface that will make many operations more convenient for both instructors and students.  For orientation, see the Library's "Information and FAQ about the Blackboard Upgrade" and "Getting Started" documentation and our own “Top 10 Things You Need to Know about Blackboard”.  See the rest of this story for tips and more details.
