Only five days and counting! Thanks to the OTS Blackboard team, spring 2013 courses will be loaded into the new version of Blackboard and made available to faculty on Monday, November 5, instead of later in November.

Faculty will have even more time than ever before to get into course shells, explore the new system, add content, and generally get virtual class space in order before general student access 21 days before the start of the semester.

If you have not yet had a chance to get into the new Blackboard, check it out! Sign up for an orientation session. If you have content in Blackboard 8, you will have to move it to the new system. Now is a great time to do so!
