RE: Move from WebCT to Blackboard Now!
If you have not yet attended a Blackboard Orientation Session, the CTI
invites you attend one of the following opportunities to learn about
Blackboard and how to upgrade for the coming Spring Semester. Please work
with your Teaching Assistant to coordinate your move to Blackboard together.
The CTI is asking ALL instructors who plan to teach in the Spring and
Summer, and wish to use a course management system, to work now with CTI to
set up their courses in Blackboard to have the maximum length of time to
receive help and assistance. CTI is not creating course spaces or moving
existing content unless requested.
Register for an in-depth orientation in a small group setting.
Signup for a Blackboard Workshop
Finally, you can watch and listen to orientation information online on-demand, then based on this information fill out the request form:
If you have already attended an Orientation, and wish to get one-on-one
help, please email cti@uidaho.edu to
schedule a meeting. As you may already know, Blackboard Inc. merged with
WebCT Inc. in February 2006—forming a single company. By moving to
Blackboard CE Enterprise License, the UI is taking the logical upgrade path
for the software. Blackboard Inc. plans to discontinue support for the
current WebCT software so all UI classes must be moved to the new Blackboard
platform PRIOR to the Summer term. WebCT will not be operational effective
the start of summer 2008.
Thank You.
