New Access to Blackboard 9.1 Learn
Starting this fall, all students, faculty, and staff will access Blackboard by going to http://learn.uark.edu. The recent campuswide migration to Blackboard 9.1 Learn provides students with a uniform learning management system experience.
The former Blackboard addresses (http://blackboard.uark.edu, http://courses.uark.edu, and http://courses.waltoncollege.uark.edu) now redirect to the new location. IT Services recommends that all Blackboard users change their bookmarks to reflect the new Web location for Blackboard 9.1 Learn.
Students, faculty, and staff can get live one-on-one Blackboard phone support at 575-6804, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. Extended Blackboard phone support hours will be announced soon.
Online tutorials, support articles, and request forms for accounts and support are available for students, faculty, and staff at http://bbsupport.uark.edu. Faculty can also go to http://uits.uark.edu/train to register for a scheduled Blackboard workshop or to request one by selecting Training By Request.
