| Introduction |
Blackboard understands that when institutions spend limited resources on technology, they want users to fully use the features and functions. That is why Blackboard is organising a series of 4 training days this May in Melbourne and Sydney on what is new in Blackboard Learn.
In these full-day workshops, we will combine hands-on training with best practices in using the latest tools in Blackboard Learn, Release 9.1, Service Pack 6, 7, and 8.
On this site you can learn more about the details, costs, location, and how to register for the training session of your choice.
We hope to greet you in Melbourne or in Sydney!
