Faculty Technology Workshops
Fall 2008
With the spring of 2009, big changes are coming to CUNY’s Blackboard environment. Not only are we upgrading to a new version of the product, but some quite familiar functions will be radically changed. For example, the Digital Dropbox is gone, and the Discussion Board will morph into a richer resource as will the Gradebook (now called Grade Center). The changes to Blackboard are almost too many to mention, so take the opportunity and learn from the experts.
