Blackboard Shut-down and Moodle Training

Blackboard will be turned off on June 29, 2012.  Starting at the beginning of June, ITS will be archiving all courses and organizations in preparation for the shut down.  If you have important information in a Blackboard course or organization, please download your materials or export your course to your computer.

The college has successfully transitioned many of our courses to Moodle already.  ITS is offering many hands-on Moodle training sessions to assist with learning Moodle.   Introduction to Moodle workshops help you get started using your own materials to begin developing your course in Moodle.  Consider attending an Intermediate Moodle workshop if you have started to use Moodle but would like to know more about features such as questionnaires, electronic assignments,  blogs and wikis, the gradebook, and styling your course.
