The Blackboard course management system has been a staple for online access to educational, training and organizational information for five years. More than 900 courses are currently available on the system, with almost 600 of them active at any one time. Blackboard has been established as the course management system across all four of the University of Nebraska campuses. More than 500 UNMC faculty are instructors in the courses, and UNMC is the only campus in the NU system at which every student must access Blackboard during their education. Why? One reason is because UNMC has moved many of its compliance courses to the Web, and most use Blackboard. |
While users will not be able to access materials on Blackboard on Thursday, June 1, access should be reestablished late on Friday, June 2. Any questions about the upgrade should be addressed to Dan Moser, associate director of Learning Environment and Internet Services (LEIS), at 559-5684.

Beverages and dessert will be served; brown bags are welcome. Limited seating available, early registration is recommended. Contact Eileen Andersen at 559-7284 or emandersen@unmc.edu to register.
