Blackboard is being upgraded and will be read-only from the 7th July up until the upgrade is complete.
While the read-only version of Blackboard is available, any uploads or changes to content you make will not be retained (including student assignment submissions). However, staff and students will still have full read access to Blackboard during the upgrade.
The upgrade will start on the 7th July and will be completed within the working week 9th July – 13th July and all students and staff will be notified via email when the Blackboard upgrade is complete.
What to expect from the upgrade?
The upgrade to Blackboard will introduce some new features for staff and students, including:
- An enhanced responsive design for mobile and tablet devices, featuring fully responsive menus within module sites and main Blackboard tabs, responsive blogs and discussion boards.
- Improvements to assessments and submissions made by Blackboard, including the introduction of receipts for Blackboard submissions as part of an enhanced submission process.
- The ability to upload multiple files via drag and drop in a broader range of locations across Blackboard
- A new help and support area, offering dedicated support for students covering Blackboard and other university tools.
