    <strong>Update: August 14, 2010</strong>
    
    As <a href="http://www.umbc.edu/blogs/oit-news/archives/2010/04/major_blackboar.html" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">announced</a> last spring, there are numerous changes to Blackboard as part of the 9.1 upgrade. These will be described in more detail in DoIT's traditional "back-to-school" Blackboard Update next week.

    The <a href="http://www.umbc.edu/blogs/oit-news/archives/2010/04/major_blackboar.html" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">scheduled upgrade</a> was completed and Blackboard was brought back online at approximately 3 pm on Friday, May 28.  Blackboard Learn 9.1 is now available for the entire campus community to use.  DoIT will be continuing to work on a variety of minor modifications over the next  few days.  However, this work should not impact the ability of the campus community to access courses or communities.  <a href="http://www.umbc.edu/oit/newmedia/blackboard/help/faculty.php" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Preliminary documentation on getting started with Bb Learn 9.1 </a>has been posted for instructors/ leaders and will be expanded on through the summer.  
    
    Thank you for your patience during this upgrade period.</div>
