Service announcements and essential information from the Digital Education Office
Qwickly Course Tools is currently experiencing an issue which is preventing users from updating course availability and from posting announcements for multiple courses at once. The issue has been reported to Qwickly and we are working on a solution.
Note that it is still possible to change course availability and to post announcements in individual courses using the standard methods within Blackboard.
Qwickly Course Tools, in Blackboard, has now received an essential system update. This tool allows users to make changes to multiple courses, such as:
The update has improved accessibility and replaced the main navigation with a new left-hand menu. The link to Qwickly Course Tools will appear differently on Blackboard’s home page:
Our documentation has been updated to reflect the changes.
If you have any questions, please contact digital-education@bristol.ac.uk.
The essential system update to Qwickly Course Tools in Blackboard will now be taking place on Wednesday 31 August.
The update will improve accessibility and replace the main navigation menu with a new left-hand menu to make the system easier for instructors to use. The Qwickly settings have also been reconfigured to further simplify use. Details of the changes can be found on our Service Improvements page. Qwickly will remain available to staff throughout the update.
Qwickly Attendance has now received an essential system update. This has improved accessibility and replaced the main navigation menu with a new left-hand menu. The settings have also been updated to make the system easier to use. All documentation has now been updated to reflect the changes.
The update we previously announced for Qwickly Course Tools has now been postponed by the supplier and further details will be announced once they are received.
The Campus Pack features in Blackboard have now been switched off, as the product is no longer supported by the supplier. This means it is no longer possible to add new Campus Pack items into courses.
If you already used Campus Pack within an existing course, you will still be able to view the content. Students will also be able to view and export existing items.
For further details on this change and instructions on exporting content, see our Service Improvements page.
