From Signals, April 2008, v.6, n.5
Critical dates for the Blackboard Upgrade
1. Friday, June 27th
A “snapshot” of all Bb 6.3 data (courses, organizations, modules, etc.) will be done at 5:00pm. Changes made in Bb 6.3 AFTER June 27th, will NOT be copied to Bb 7.3. This means, for example, if the leader of a Bb organization adds a person or uploads a Word document between June 28th and July 20th, that work will be not be reflected in Bb 7.3.
CIS recommends that you make as few additions/changes as possible to Bb organizations, modules, etc. from June 28th through July 20th. For Bb courses, instructors will need to archive at the end of their summer session courses in order to save any changes made after June 27th. Please go to http://unh.edu/idc/first/tips/blackboard/BbQT065.pdf. Staff from the Instructional Development Center (IDC) will contact faculty with summer courses at the end of the summer to ask if they need or want help with this process.
