Stony Brook's Blackboard system was updated the week of 12/27/21  

There are some issues that all need to be aware of, they are:

 1.  Links for Echo360 & VoiceThread do not work in existing courses.   Instructors need to relink  their Echo360 and VoiceThread content.

2.  Achievements is not working (Blackboard has been notified)

3.  Digital Desk is not working (Digital Desk has been notified)

4. It is unclear that Cengage is working properly.  If any instructors use Cengage, we need your help.  Please try to use the tool and email us at: blackboard@stonybrook.edu  to let us know whether or not it is functioning correctly

5.  Safe Assign reports that were generated prior to 12/27/21 are available upon request by the Instructor of the course.  To do so, follow these instructions: https://it.stonybrook.edu/help/kb/requesting-safeassign-reports-from-fall-2021-older-courses/revisions/202609/view

There have been some changes that Instructors & Students may notice ...they are:
