Migration to Canvas
Boise State University is moving from Blackboard to Canvas as its campus-wide Learning Management System (LMS) in Fall 2021. The Organizational Performance and Workplace Learning (OPWL) department is participating in the “soft launch” phase during Summer of 2021 by offering several summer courses in Canvas. Then, all OPWL courses will be delivered in Canvas starting Fall of 2021.
What OPWL Students Should/Can Do
It is the University’s plan that the University Blackboard system will be closed down after September 15th, 2021 (tentatively); after this date, you will no longer have access to prior course materials retained in Blackboard. The University’s Blackboard system archives course sites 2 years after the semester is over. Before the University Blackboard system is closed, you have access to the OPWL Blackboard course sites used between Spring 2018 and Summer 2021.
Do you want to keep some of the course materials and the assignments you submitted in your previous Blackboard course sites? You should review your previous OPWL Blackboard course sites and download the materials now!
Especially if you will complete OPWL 592 Portfolio reviews using your class projects, you want to have a copy of imporant information about your course projects. Not sure what is expected in OPWL 592 Portfolio? Review the OPWL 592 Portfolio course materials.
