Blackboard 9.1 is now live!

You may well have noticed that the University's Virtual Learning Environment looks a little different at http://blackboard.swansea.ac.uk The Learning Portal has been upgraded to the latest version of Blackboard - Blackboard 9.1.

Although it looks different, most of the changes are to the interface and all of the features you've used before are still there, so it shouldn't take too long to get used to the changes. In addition, there are some useful new features. There is a support site for the new version, which includes an overview, tutorials and further information. http://learninglab.swan.ac.uk/blackboard9/ As well as the support site, the e-learning team will be running lots of training sessions on the new version. You can find information on the training here http://learninglab.swan.ac.uk/blackboard9/training.html

If you can't find the information you need from the support site, you can, as always, contact the e-learning team at blackboard@swansea.ac.uk

Will it have the Swansea University logo?

Chris, this is great news: congratulations to you, Clive, Helen and Matthew and anyone else involved!

Couple of points on the new support site. There's no obvious link from learninglab.swan.ac.uk and no obvious way back from learninglab.swan.ac.uk/blackboard9 to learninglab.swan.ac.uk.

It looks like the two sites are completely different (I'm guessing they actually are), but the URLs tell a different story.
