3. CU eLearning System (Blackboard Learn 9.1 SP11) New Features and Workshops

New Features of 9.1 SP11
The coming CU eLearning System (Blackboard Learn 9.1 SP11), to be launched on 21 Jul 9pm, will fix some of the known issues. It will also bring you enhancements and new features while majority of the functions remain the same as current Blackboard Learn 9.1 SP7. Here are some of the highlights:

  1. New and Modern Look
    The basic elements you see in SP11 are the same as the original interface. Hover over an item and you can see the action link and move button.
  2. Enhanced Discussion Board
    You can view and reply all the posts in a thread on one page. Avatar image will be shown too. Click here for the video clip to understand more. 
  3. Inline Assignment Grading (for course instructors)
    Instead of requiring instructors to download student-submitted files to view or edit those submissions, instructors can now see those files in a web browser. Click here for the video clip to understand more.
