The move to a new hosting provider for Blackboard is nearing completion and ITS has conducted preliminary testing to ensure that all is well. Now we need your feedback.
If you have an opportunity, please go to courses.denison.edu (or click the Blackboard icon in MyDenison) and take a few minutes to review your course list and your courses and let us know if you see any missing courses, missing content, or other issues.
Faculty & staff, please DO NOT MAKE CHANGES to course content yet. Another update will be posted when the migration has been validated and you can begin to make changes.
Please notify the ITS Help Desk at 740-587-6395 or helpdesk@denison.edu if you spot any issues or have any questions.
