Faculty, here’s your To-Do list as you prepare for the move to Brightspace:

  1. If using Blackboard, submit grades before 4:59 pm on December 21, 2022
  2. Prepare your Blackboard Course for Conversion to Brightspace – a Checklist
  3. Download your Fall 2022 Blackboard Grade Centers
  4. Save (Export) Your Courses in Blackboard

Definitions:

    1. Blackboard Export – Saving the content of the course – no student data/activity/grades
    2. Downloading the grade center – Saving the grades (just grades, no feedback or actual assignments) into an Excel Spreadsheet
