Students, faculty and staff can now log into Blackboard 6 to access course sites for the remainder of the 2003-2004 academic year. To log into Blackboard 6, each user must enter his or her Elon e-mail username and password. If you’ve forgotten your e-mail password, please call the Helpdesk at ext. 5200.
For the time being, all organizational sites (mailing lists, fraternities and sororities, sites of departmental majors, etc.) remain on Blackboard 5. The new Blackboard 6 server has a link to Blackboard 5. These organizational sites will be transferred to Blackboard 6 within the coming weeks. If you manage an organizational site, please look for announcements in the near future.
The new Blackboard 6 system provides the university with an enhanced Web-based learning environment. A few of the new features in Blackboard 6 include separate management of academic and organizational sites, a new chat function that’s available in each site, and additional flexibility in the structure of sites.
