Same Course, Different Platforms: Blackboard vs Brightspace

WorkshopsWorkshops

When: May 1, 2024, 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

Presenter(s): Shiao-Chuan Kung (Center for Online Learning)


Join us for an informational session on Hunter’s learning management system transition from Blackboard to Brightspace. We will discuss the timeline, the learning and support resources available and the steps that professors can take to get ready to teach on Brightspace in 2025. We will showcase exemplary courses built in Blackboard and redesigned in Brightspace. Compare the look and feel of the two courses and learn about features and tools that will be available in the new platform.
