Bb Courses Older Than FA2007 Will Be Deleted on 8/23/13

In accordance with the Blackboard Course Retention Policy, all Blackboard courses older than  Fall 2007 will be deleted. DoIT has scheduled this removal for Friday, August 23, 2013. 

Instructors are encouraged to download and keep a copy of the Grade Center for any affected courses. Instructors may also archive an entire course, and keep a local copy for their records. Be aware though that only DoIT system administrators can "restore" an archived course on the UMBC Blackboard production server.

After the WT2014 semester is completed (and the SP2014 semester is started), Winter courses will be migrated to the new production Bb server, typically by the end of Spring Break.

Currently, we are running version 9.1.9 and plan to upgrade to version 9.1.13 (depending on what version is available in October when the Winter server is built). In addition to staying current with Bb's latest release, the latest version of Bb will give us access to several new features that include the following:



Before the upgrade, anyone can see how these features look and function now by trying out a demo instance on the free coursesites.blackboard.com:



After the upgrade, DoIT will provide face-to-face and online "Bb Drop In" sessions. We also are very willing to support cohort-based training for departments that can assure a minimum of four (4) faculty and/or staff will be present (dates & times TBD). To request cohort training, submit an "online learning" request via rt.umbc.edu. Please use “Bb Cohort Training Request” in the subject line.

Bb course shells for SU2013 were created on April 14, 2013 on the Bb production server at http://blackboard.umbc.edu.  Enrollments for SU2013 courses will continue to be updated daily. Bb shells are available for all courses (designated as lecture, lab, field or discussion) listed in the UMBC Schedule of Classes (SOC), provided that there is an instructor of record listed. The addition of new course sections and/or instructors will result in new Bb shells being automatically generated each morning. Student enrollment in Bb will continue to mirror the official registration in SA, and will update hourly.

If you are an instructor, and your name is not associated with the course you are teaching in the SOC, please see your departmental scheduling coordinator to get that issue resolved. Once you are listed in the SOC, your Bb course shell will be created automatically.

Additionally in situations where one instructor is teaching multiple sections of the same course, by default all sections will be combined into one Bb course shell. This also includes sections of the same course taught in both Summer Session I and II. If you want to have separate shells for different sections, or separate shells for Summer Session I and II, please  submit an RT ticket with your request. If you need a shell for for a research or independent study course, please submit a new course request.

As a reminder, all Bb course shells are initially unavailable to students until the instructor makes it available. ]]> Bb course shells for SU2013 were created on April 14, 2013 on the Bb production server at http://blackboard.umbc.edu.  Enrollments for SU2013 courses will continue to be updated daily.

Please make note of these changes as they will affect your ability to access WT2013 courses.

  1. As of 2/25 anyone needing to access the WT2013 Bb server from off campus needs to log in to the VPN first.
  2. The WT2013 Bb server will be taken completely offline on Friday, 3/15.
  3. WT2013 courses will be restored on the UMBC Bb production server by Friday, March 29.  Please note that there will be approximately two weeks when WT2013 courses will be completely unavailable to faculty and students.  We encourage you to download a copy of your grade center, and any other content that you might need to your local machine. If instructors have students finishing incomplete grades, and students must have continuing access to their WT2013 course over spring break, the instructors should put in an RT ticket request prior to Thursday, March 14.

Thank you for your patience during this transition.

Bb Instructors are encouraged to compare their official course rosters in Peoplesoft, with the list of users enrolled in their Bb courses.  If they find students who have officially dropped the course but who are still listed in Bb, they can either change the student's availability to "unavailable", or they can remove them completely from the Bb course.  If students find they are still listed in a Bb course that they have officially dropped, they should submit an RT ticket and ask to be removed.
