Over the past several months, the Computing Center and the University of Oregon Libraries have collaborated to launch Blackboard 6, the latest version of the online course administration and delivery system used at the UO.
Version 6 provides instructors with more flexibility in content management and sharing, better assessment and assignment management, and a new Virtual Classroom tool that facilitates collaboration and communication in the learning environment.
Students log in to Blackboard 6 using their Gladstone or Darkwing email address and corresponding password (e.g., jdoe@gladstone and the appropriate password). Faculty and GTFs using version 6 will see some procedural changes when developing their courses. Blackboard 6 support for both faculty and students is available at http://blackboard.uoregon.edu/
Individuals with questions about the upgrade or departments interested in scheduling training workshops for their teaching staff should contact JQ Johnson, the UO Libraries’ academic education coordinator (346-1746, jqj@darkwing.uoregon.edu).
The Blackboard system is managed by the UO Libraries with collaborative support from the UO Computing Center.
