On May 11, 2013, the UNT System Blackboard Learn administrators updated our system to the most recent service pack Blackboard has released. This service pack includes bug fixes, few new tool enhancements (see below), and introduces a new look and feel. To learn more about the enhanced interface, check out the Look and Feel tip sheet which includes screenshots of the new interface.
Although there will be minor changes to the look and feel of the Blackboard Learn interface, there will be no impact on course organization or content as a result of this service pack installation.
Retention Center You can detect student problem areas and make corrections before it's too late. The new course Retention Center in Blackboard Learn replaces the Early Warning System and automatically brings attention to student performance and engagement risk factors and quickly triggers alerts - with no set up required.
Calendar Spend less time organizing your calendar and more time doing what's on it. Consolidate course items into a modern, easy-to-use, personalized view. And export to third-party calendars like Outlook or Google.
No coding experience needed required. The easy-to-use Content Editor reads, writes and renders modern HTML, making it a breeze to create rich course materials for your students.
The rebuilt discussions in Blackboard Learn make it simple for faculty and students to engage in conversations with one another. This new interface lets students easily follow along with discussion threads and post replies.
Item Analysis Item analysis provides statistics on overall test performance and individual test questions. This data helps you recognize questions that might be poor discriminators of student performance. You can use this information to improve questions for future test administrations or to adjust credit on current attempts.
