Current Projects

Class Collaborate contract ends: move to Zoom

Status: in progress. In Sept. 2022, Blackboard Collaborate Ultra was acquired by Class Technologies, who agreed to honor existing Anthology contracts. TU's Bb Class Collaborate access ends May 23, 2025, when TU's contract with Collaborate Ultra expires. 

It's recommended to start using Zoom now for online class meetings. See how to configure your course or create office hours in Zoom. You can save a Class Collaborate recording before May. For more help with using Zoom in your Bb Course attend one of our Zoom Pop-ups or watch a previously recorded session. See the Bb org site for scheduling info.

Blackboard Feature Updates

Status: ongoing. Updates suggested by faculty and recent Blackboard updates implemented in response to feedback. Learn more.
