Spring 2021 Courses are open in both Blackboard and Brightspace
To provide faculty with the flexibility and agency they’ve asked for, all Spring courses are now open and available in both Blackboard and Brightspace.
To provide students with direction, we ask faculty to :
-
- Check the LMS Course Locations – Spring 2021.xlsx spreadsheet to make sure it accurately reflects where they will teach each of their course and send an email to lit@wit.edu with updates.
- Post a welcome announcement in each of your courses to notify students where you’re teaching the course, in the Brightspace or Blackboard.
Communication and Resources for Students:
-
- Access on-demand Brightspace resources for faculty and students on https://sites.wit.edu/wit-online/brightspace-resources/ or MyWentworth Brightspace Resources tile. Students can find Students a video playlist in Brightspace under Help on the top Brightspace navigation bar.
- Students received an email Wed 1/13 providing guidance regarding their spring courses including the courses they are enrolled in (which you can’t see on this sample): https://technology.us.newsweaver.com/k0p1p8d72g/1jcnq72wvzk
Please change course availability in the LMS you’re not using
All Spring 2021 courses are active in both Brightspace and Blackboard. to make your course unavailable in the LMS you’re not using, follow these instructions.
If you can’t find your course in either system, please open a TechSpot ticket and provide the CRN number for the course so that we can troubleshoot your issue.
