Launch of Blackboard Learning System CE6 (former WebCT CE6)
Notice Number : 024/2008
Starting on academic year 2008/09, CSC will upgrade the existing elearning platform from WebCT
Campus Edition 4 to Blackboard Campus Edition 6 (CE6) for 2008. (WebCT was acquired by
Blackboard and WebCT CE6 has been re-branded as Blackboard CE6).
During the first semester, both versions, WebCT CE4 and Blackboard CE6(BbCE6) will be available to ease the transition to BbCE6 and enable teachers to get familiar with the new version.
Bb CE6 interface is very different from CE4. The main differences are highligted in the following page: http://csc.ipm.edu.mo/blackboard/.
Teachers who have created courses within WebCT CE4 and wish to export them to BbCE6 should contact CSC by sending email to elearning@ipm.edu.mo in order to get assistance in the migration process. Instructions on how to migrate courses from CE4 to CE6 are available at http://csc.ipm.edu.mo/blackboard/import.htm.
We highly recommend that teachers migrate existing courses as early as possible, to ensure a smooth transition to the new platform.
CSC is planning to provide introductory sessions for new users and training for existing users of CE4.
