Blackboard Automatic Migration Deadline - June 7
This is a reminder from a previous communication that the automatic migration of Fall 2015 ANGEL course shells to Blackboard is June 7. If you would like to take advantage of this option, please follow the steps outlined on the Migration FAQ page, question 2. You must complete the steps by June 7 to ensure course shells are migrated on June 8. NOTE: This is a one-time only process! After June 7, the following migration options are available: 1) Self-Migration – Available anytime Instructions on how to migrate content yourself are on the campus Blackboard Learn website on the Migration Resources page, under “Open SUNY ANGEL to Blackboard Learn Migration Guide.” 2) No Migration – Manually Add Content to Bb Learn – Available anytime Fall 2015 course shells are now available in Blackboard Learn. You can upload or add content to them at any time. Get started by pointing a Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox web browser to www.oswego.edu/bb. ANGEL End of Life It is important to remember that Blackboard Learn will be the only campus supported learning management system (LMS) as of the Fall 2015 semester. The last day ANGEL access will be available is Monday, August 31, 2015. After that, any attempts to access it will be redirected to Blackboard Learn. This means that any needed ANGEL content must either be saved and downloaded to your computer or migrated to Blackboard Learn. Spring 2016 Course Content If you have ANGEL content you may not be migrating but would like to use in the future, you will need to create an ANGEL Export file. This file will not include student work and must be imported into Blackboard Learn to be viewable. Please see Creating ANGEL Course Archive File for instructions on creating export files. Bb Learn Training We will be offering numerous Blackboard Learn workshops throughout the summer. In addition to the workshops, office hours are available for individual assistance. Those times are also available from the workshops page. Additional information about the migration is available from the Blackboard Migrations FAQs page. Blackboard related questions can be sent to bbhelp-list@ls.oswego.edu. Please do not hesitate to contact us with your questions or concerns. The number one lesson we’ve learned is to start the migration process early!
