What's New?

Spring 08-Blackboard used campus wide for electronic grade submision .

Blackboard (formerly WebCT) is now in production and all MTU course sections will automatically be present for all students. Instructors no longer need to fill out a form to request course creation. The student rosters will automatically be populated for all sections about one week before the semester begins.

Michigan Tech is transitioning from
Blackboard/WebCT version 4.1 to version 6 and it is now time to decommission the older version. This is currently being done and access to version4.1 has been restricted. IT is
exporting all courses within this version so that upon request, individual courses can than be imported into the new version. If you have any questions about this process or need access to one of your exported courses, please email courses@mtu.edu.
