BLACKBOARD 9.1.8 HAS ARRIVED!  Blackboard has provided a great deal of information, including instructional documents and videos, to help students, faculty members, and Blackboard administrators get up and running with Blackboard 9.1 SP 8. Please feel free to use their guides, along with our WSU Helpdesk (508 929-8856) to make the transition from Blackboard version 8 a smooth one.

Note: Some features of Blackboard‘s LMS course management software have been customized to fit the needs of Worcester State University and might work differently than described or might not be available on our campus.
