The long awaited change to Blackboard Learn is only two weeks away. IRT is putting the finishing touches on the system and preparing to load students into their summer courses. Now is the time to make sure you’re ready for the big day.
Here’s what you should do.
First, log in to Blackboard Learn at https://learn.dcollege.net/ and make sure your course templates have been copied over. (If you haven’t requested that your courses be copied, please contact IRT [for BBVista] or fill out the DeL form at http://www.drexel.com/BlackboardMicrosite/BbRequestForm.aspx.
Click through your courses and make sure all of the content copied correctly. Then make any changes you want to make before the summer term. When the actual courses are created for the summer, you will be able to copy all of the content into the new sections from these migrated courses.
IRT will start to load students into the system on June 11th. Students will not be able to see specific courses, but they will be able to access the orientation and tutorials about the new system.
To make the transition as smooth as possible, I will be available to assist you by answering any last minute questions about setting up your courses. You can reach me at 856-367-1703 and by e-mail at pe22@drexel.edu.
I noticed that the Learn gradebook includes two columns, Username and Student ID, which have the same data--the student's logon ID. Shouldn't the Student ID be the 8-digit Drexel ID number?
