Starting in April, the Center for Excellence in Teaching, Learning, and Leadership (CETLL) will present a series of virtual workshops on specific features of Brightspace. The workshops will be conducted via Zoom.
Each workshop will cover one of the following:
- Assignments
- Quizzes
- Discussions
- Gradebook
- Communication (Announcements and email).
We would like to accommodate the schedules of as many faculty members as possible, so your input is important. Kindly provide feedback at this form: https://forms.office.com/r/KH9dDJhaqh.
Please send questions to Brightspace@qc.cuny.edu
REMINDER: Queens College courses will be conducted through Brightspace starting in Summer 2024. We will no longer use Blackboard.
Blackboard courses from 2022-2024 are being automatically migrated to Brightspace. Please note that this process does not include migrating any Blackboard Collaborate Ultra recordings; faculty are responsible for manually backing up those recordings. Instructions can be found at How to Download Recordings from Blackboard Collaborate
Faculty will be responsible for manually backing up and migrating pre-2022 courses from Blackboard. CETLL strongly recommends that you begin the backup process now. The first step to backing up your Blackboard course is to export a course package. For instructions, visit Export and Archive Courses.
Remember that we’re here to help. If you have any questions about the workshops, the transition process, or Brightspace in general, or if you want to schedule a meeting for hands-on instruction, please contact us at Brightspace@qc.cuny.edu
