Dear Birkbeck Blackboard Instructors,

We would very much appreciate a few minutes of your time to take a look at Blackboard version 9 and answer a short survey. Rather than ask you to look at an empty course, we have requested a copy of our live environment from Blackboard Managed Hosting.

We are leaving the survey open for the moment so please do complete this if you haven't already - details below.

Many thanks

Leo Havemann

On behalf of Birkbeck IT Services & The BLE Technical Group

Dear colleague,

I'm pleased to tell you that we are now evaluating a new version of Blackboard and we invite you to help us with this process. You can view your existing courses in this new version and experiment with the new "look and feel".

To login:

Visit https://blestaging.blackboard.com and login with your usual username and password.

To feedback:

Visit http://tinyurl.com/BLE-v9-Survey and work through the questions. This should only take 15 minutes.

We are very grateful for your time - this will provide valuable feedback in allowing us to reach a decision about if and when to move to this version of Blackboard.

With best wishes,

Sarah
