4. We just upgraded Blackboard and there are some changes to note:
a. The original version of the Collaborate web conference tool is no longer available. Collaborate Ultra is
now the current tool.
b. The inline grading function (for annotating student-submitted documents) has a slightly different look.
Highlighting text and point comments are the only possible tools now.
5. Instructional Development Days (Faculty Center event) will be held January 17
th

6. Please let us help you with your Blackboard Grade Center! Students want to see their grades in
Blackboard, and your Grade Center is a direct reflection of your teaching. Let's get it organized before
the semester starts.
7. Remember that we have many academic tools like NBC-Learn, Poll Everywhere, Lynda.com, Kaltura,
Qwickly, and Respondus that can help you engage the students. Contact us for assistance at
