*** Upgrade Club 2018 ***

The first rule of upgrade club is that everyone talks about upgrade club. The purpose of this thread is for anyone doing an upgrade this year to check in, state what version/platform they are on now, and to what version they plan to upgrade. Maybe we can find some useful common ground and exploit some synergies? At Southampton it feels like… (Show more)

Has anyone been able to configure Cloud storage integration outside the US? Since it appears to require the use of the Cloud Connection settings (inexplicably - aside from the word 'cloud' it wouldn't appear to need anything on the Blackboard/AWS side), perhaps like the video feedback feature its region locked to the USA?

Intitutional hierarchy and tools available to one node

Hi everyone. I have just encountered a situation where a department of a university buys a certain software to be used on their courses within Bb Learn and should not be used in the rest of the institution. Alright, I say... let's install and activate for the one node that needs the tool, and lock it for the rest of the institution so nobody can… (Show more)

Apologies if I was being unclear, I didn't mean the ability to manage the whatever is associated to the IH, I meant manage the IH itself e.g. assign modules to the node or enable tools. Any System Administrator can do this.

Customize the Student Invitation

We've migrated from the legacy CoursSites to CourseSites Experience. In the legacy CourseSites there was an option to customize the invitation sent to students, including changing the graphic and text. Is that capability available in the new CoursSites?

Hi Jason Carter If you are asking questions about CourseSites in future, please post in the CourseSites specific community group and you will probably get a quicker reply (I'm more likely to see it quickly anyway). CourseSites by Blackboard In response to your question the short answer is No. We do not currently have any plans to support this…

Can you help to develop AI chatbot for Saas Ultra?

Let's build an Ultra (Saas) chatbot. Are you willing to help? We need to come up with questions and answers. From there we will build a chatbot. The bot will be used at many schools. It's as easy as copy/paste HTML into Blackboard. What do you say? If you're up for the task, post a response with the code word: "singularity".

SafeAssign and the Blackboard Mobile App

A few days ago, one of our faculty alerted me to an issue in her class. She had created an Assignment (enabling SafeAssign), and while all of… (Show more)

This issue is not specific to the mobile app. If the assignment shows up as a link--I believe Safe Assign will not check it. You have to have the students attach the actual file (with the proper file extension)--not post a link. It is also sometimes an issue when they are browsing Google Drive to get the assignment--sometimes it puts a link to…

Show us your Institution Page!!

Disclaimer: this is in no way derivative or inspired by other "Show us your ..." discussions created in the community. (I think original credit for these "show us your" discussions goes to Chris Boon from City College Norwich).

Thanks Matthew Deeprose Although I was actually thinking of the Institution page in Ultra specifically as I would have thought that the original "Show Us Your Blackboard" thread was more suitable for pages from the original experience. That would therefore automatically mean Ultra with the options being FDO or CD (and I'm not sure that makes a…

Hi Ian Yeah, we seem to be in a position where other people decide whats what and then we pick up the pieces. We are going to review this process at some point but I have a feeling that it could be a case of well, its been done like this for ages, so well keep it that way. Ed
