Please note that Blackboard will be unavailable August 10-12 as Information Services will perform upgrades to the system. Instructors can request and organize fall term classes now – more than 300 fall courses have already been requested.<\/p>\n
When the system is available again on August 13, it will have a different look.\u00a0 Most notably, course instructors will no longer have to go to the control panel to manage their classes: all course management options will be found in the menus on the left side of every page.<\/p>\n
The new version also comes with added features, including course blogs and wikis.\u00a0 Enhancements have also been made to discussion boards and the grade center.\u00a0 Did you know that 45% of Blackboard courses at Richmond use the grade center?<\/p>\n
