Final farewell to Blackboard & access to Bb archive
|
As the Blackboard countdown clock informed us, Blackboard access ended today (Jan. 5). However, those with the instructor role will be able to view their previous courses in the Blackboard Archive until June 1, 2018 (mentioned in our
Dec. 7 Tip
). While the old Blackboard sign-on is no longer available on the Iowa State homepage or sign-ons page - a link will remain on the
Learning Management System
website.
