Blackboard welcome page update
The welcome page in Learn.UQ (Blackboard) has been updated to provide a more modern and intuitive navigation for all UQ staff and students. There are no changes to the look and functionality of teaching course sites.
Chat and channels in Ed Discussion

New navigational interface for Learn.UQ courses
The Learning Pathway is an optional navigational interface in Blackboard course sites that provides students with a clear visual roadmap through their course to help them stay on track. It is now available to all interested courses starting Semester 1, 2023.
