Good morning all,
Below are some important steps you should take regarding Blackboard. Please note that this must be done before May 31st, 2015.
Blackboard – Exporting your grade center
It’s good practice to back-up all Blackboard gradebooks in case a student decides to dispute a grade. It is recommended that you keep this information for at least one year. This is more important than ever as no previous student data will be migrated into Canvas. After May 31st 2015 you will no longer have access to this information unless you save it.
Blackboard – Downloading student assignments
If you have a need to review student assignments after Blackboard is longer available (May, 2015) then the only way you will be able to do this is to save them outside of Bb. You can choose to download all or only selected submissions as a single .zip file. Each submission is saved as a separate file within the .zip file.
Blackboard – Saving course materials
Faculty who have content on Blackboard will have to download and save it before the end of May 2015. There are several ways in which to do this but here are the steps we recommend: https://keene.instructure.com/courses/225656/pages/weekly-canvas-tips?module_item_id=5916691 – see tip dated 2/09/2015
