Blackboard

Overview

• To access UW Bothell's Blackboard site, go to: http://bb.uwb.edu

Blackboard is web courseware which can be used to create online content and add online interaction and collaboration to a course. Faculty can use Blackboard to post course documents, create links, hold online discussions, give tests, and facilitate groupwork. Students can use Blackboard to find course information, turn in assignments, view grades, and interact online with faculty and other students. More information and tutorials for faculty and students can be found by clicking the buttons above.

Canvas Transition Information

Because UW Bothell has chosen to make Canvas our primary learning management system, the use of Blackboard will be gradually phased out in the next year. On December 31st, 2013, UWB will be shutting off the Blackboard servers and all Blackboard content will be permanently unavailable.

 To prepare yourself, it is a good idea to:

• Start familiarizing yourself with Canvas, using the tutorials provided by UW Bothell Learning Technologies
• Back up any of your data on Blackboard that you wish to preserve
• Watch the following video for a brief introduction to Canvas:
