REMINDER: The system office extended the migration deadline for Blackboard Vista from December, 2012 to June, 2013. This means that we will create courses and rosters in both Learn and Vista for fall 2012 and spring 2013. However, the support for Vista will be extremely limited during this period. Starting summer 2013, the courses and rosters will only be loaded into Learn. After May 2013, the Blackboard Vista system will exist as an archive only until summer 2014 to allow faculty members to make copies of the old courses. Therefore, all should attend an Overview workshop session as soon as possible. We will offer workshops throughout the fall semester as well.
Please check this website and WestConnduit frequently as new workshops may be added due to demand. The following Blackboard Learn V9.1 workshops are currently being offered:
