End of Semester To Do List for Blackboard

It's the end of the semester and for those of you using Blackboard there are just a couple of things you still need to do to finish out the semester. You need to make your course unavailable to students and it's a good idea to create a backup of your course so all the student work and your work is archived to your hard drive.

Blackboard Maintenance Schedule

On Friday, May 22 from midnight to 5am, Blackboard will be down for maintenance.

On Friday, June 5 from 1 am to 4 pm, Blackboard will be down for the installation of Service Pack 5 and to implement the following changes to the Snapshot process for Summer 2009.

  1. Faculty request: Set first and middle names to be “owned” by Blackboard so users can change them in Blackboard.

  2. Change email to be owned by WebAdvisor – instructors and students would need to keep WebAdvisor email updated. This was the original intent but was not implemented for Spring.
