CETLL reminds you that ºì¶¹ÊÓÆµ courses being conducted through Blackboard will be conducted through Brightspace starting in Summer 2024.\u00a0 We will no longer use Blackboard.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Blackboard courses from 2022-2024 are being automatically migrated to Brightspace. Please note that this process does not include migrating any Blackboard Collaborate Ultra recordings; faculty are responsible for manually backing up those recordings. Instructions can be found at <\/span>How to Download Recordings from Blackboard Collaborate<\/span><\/b><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Faculty will be responsible for manually backing up and migrating pre-2022 courses from Blackboard. CETLL strongly recommends that you begin the backup process now. <\/span>The first step to backing up your Blackboard course is to export a course package. For instructions, visit<\/span> Backup Blackboard Courses to Brightspace<\/span><\/b><\/a>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
