After consulting with the Campus Technology Council and TLCCP, we have decided to upgrade OWU's Blackboard Course Management software to the latest version (9.1) prior to the start of the Spring 2011 semester. We are currently running version 7.3, which was released in 2006. Numerous faculty members and students have requested features that are available in the latest version, and there is no additional cost to the University for this upgrade.
Our new Instructional Technologist, David Soliday, will be conducting training sessions throughout November and December to help faculty prepare for the new functionality and interface changes. Course content will automatically be converted to the new system.
We will communicate the training schedule and new feature information next week. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
