Blackboard Downtime

My.UNL/Blackboard will be unavailable this Saturday (January 9th) from 7am until 10am. Your My.UNL team needs to make recommended configuration changes that will improve performance. Thanks for your patience.

Blackboard 9 Update

After experiencing some technical problems with add-on software, your MY.UNL team has the Blackboard system working well. You can continue to develop your courses and work on your curriculum for the spring semester.

We will continue to look for possible issues to ensure the stability of the system. Please report any issues you may encounter to the UNL Help Center (472-3970 or 1-866-472-3970; or via email helpdesk@unl.edu)

Blackboard 9 Update

We are experiencing some technical problems after the Blackboard 9 update that we are still working through. Some of the functionality (the My UNL Courses module, Maple TA, Blogs and Wikis, etc.) you are used to seeing in your My.UNL environment is temporarily unavailable. You can access your Spring 2010 courses by clicking on the Courses tab.

Thanks for your patience while we work through these issue.

Blackboard is Back Up!

Your My.UNL team worked over winter break to update our My.UNL learning management system to Blackboard Learn, version 9. Once you log on to My.UNL.EDU, be sure to look at the "Blackboard 9 Resources" tab for training and resources.
