Migration from Blackboard Campus Edition 8
to Blackboard Learn Training and refreshing courses for faculty

Although the look of BB Learn seems, at first encounter, to be very different, you will find many of tools you have grown to love (or not). You will certainly need to plan for some time to get used to this new environment, and I am here to help. I am offering workshops to introduce you to Blackboard Learn.
