As we are wishing Blackboard and our learning experience using this system a fond goodbye, we are thrilled to have Canvas as RMIT's new Learning Management System.

 

There will be no change to how you access Blackboard.  Students will continue to be able to review existing Blackboard content, assignments and grades.  

RMIT staff will access Blackboard content via their new RMIT Limited Access role. This new role will allow RMIT Instructors to view past Blackboard content whilst restricting edit access.  Access to Blackboard Collaboration tools such as Wikis, Blogs and Journals will continue to be available.

 

For specific details on impacts please refer below.

There is no option to upgrade RMIT’s Blackboard to the Box View API.

 

Staff wishing to finalise Blackboard assignments after January 15, 2018 can continue to review submissions offline and assign grades and feedback using standard Blackboard functionality.  Inline annotations will no longer be available.

Blackboard Mobile End of Life

 

With the release of iOS 11 on September 19, 2017 for iPhones and iPads, Apple will no longer support 32-bit apps, including Mobile Learn, Blackboard’s original mobile application for students and instructors.  In addition, Blackboard have advised that they cannot guarantee continued usability of the application.

 

To achieve a consistent Student and Staff experience RMIT Blackboard will no longer be available for connection via Blackboard’s Mobile app.

 

There is no current option to upgrade RMIT’s Blackboard to connect with Blackboard Student or Blackboard Instructor
