Jordan Atkins, Manager of Customer Support, shares some exciting updates around Blackboard's new Support Bot, why it will help you get the answers you need, and how it works.

At Building Blackboard Together 2026 convention, Blackboard's Fredrik Klemming explained why trust is what gives online credentials their value, why an assessment that isn't secure can't be fair, and how open standards let institutions add specialist tools, like SMOWL for proctoring, without extra complexity. He also shared where assessment is heading: continuous, authentic evaluation that shows how students think, not only what they submit.

If you are a faculty member or instructor new to Blackboard at your institution, begin by selecting two or three links below that best align with your immediate teaching needs. Each resource connects directly to Blackboard’s official help site or video library, and you can access them without needing to log in or create an account.

Designed specifically for instructors and faculty, this session explores how Ally can serve as your guide on the side, helping you identify, understand, and prioritize opportunities to improve course content accessibility. Learn how to use Ally's feedback and indicators to focus on the changes that can have the greatest impact on learners, without feeling overwhelmed by where to start. Through practical examples and actionable recommendations, you'll discover how Ally can help you build momentum with quick wins, make informed decisions about your content, and establish a strong foundation for ongoing accessibility improvements.
