Some common questions include:

• For how long will I have access to my Blackboard course materials?

Blackboard will remain accessible through the end of the 2012-2013 academic year, allowing sufficient time to transfer course content into Moodle.

•  Do I have to move to Moodle now?

No.  Interested individuals may choose to begin teaching with Moodle beginning with the Fall semester of 2012 others may take advantage of training opportunities throughout the academic year in order to be fully ready to use Moodle. Our goal is to have all courses migrated to Moodle by the time our Blackboard license expires at the end of June 2013.

•  Do I have to get training?

We strongly encourage all faculty attend one of our many Moodle training opportunities to ensure that our students have the best experience with the new tool. Our first sessions begin on June 20 and will continue throughout the academic year.  We will offer shorter sessions on the essential uses of Moodle throughout the academic year.  To register for Moodle training sessions, please visit http://bucat.eventbrite.com.  You may also visit our online tutorials at:

• Moodle Tutorial: Managing Blocks - http://tinyurl.com/moodleblocks
• Moodle Tutorial: Moving Bb content to Moodle - http://tinyurl.com/blackboardtomoodle

•  Who can help me with the transition?

The Center for Academic Technology will help faculty and staff design and build courses or communities in Moodle. Beginning fall 2012, faculty members will be able to request in-class introductions to Moodle through the Information Commons program.

•  Who will help my students?

Students will have access to individualized support via Information Commons in the Center for Academic Technology and the Library, and the IT Help Desk located on the third floor of the Holcomb Building.

For more information about the implementation of Moodle on campus, please contact Julianne Miranda, Senior Director, Center for Academic Technology.
