Is Blackboard being used in Fall 2023?
Blackboard is no longer Stony Brook's LMS. Brightspace is our official LMS as of Summer 2023.
Blackboard Basics
Blackboard was Stony Brook University's learning management system (LMS) from January 1999 - May 2023. It will be decommissioned officially on 10/4/23. Instructors and students will have access to the system until 10/3/23. It has been replaced with Brightspace. Content from Bb courses Fall 2021-Spring 2023 is available in Brightspace for Instructors to reuse. Student Data is being archived in K16 and will be available upon request after Bb is decommissioned.
