Make sure you can access your Blackboard information easily by downloading it now.
Blackboard will be switched off towards the end of this year to make way for Canvas, the University’s new central learning environment. We’re asking you to download any content you created that you wish to keep.
The University is making sure your data is safe when we move to Canvas from Blackboard in September 2025. Your learning materials will be migrated over to Canvas courses, ready for you to begin learning next year.
Your assessment submissions and feedback from previous years will not be immediately available in Canvas and will be saved separately to an archive area.
We strongly recommend you download all your past submissions and feedback before October 2025 so you have them easily available. After 17 October 2025, if you want to access your prior assessments, you will need to request them via a Connect form through the Central Digital Learning team and it may take some time to process your request.
By downloading this information from Blackboard now, you can save yourself unnecessary work and save time in the future.
