A message from Howard Stevenson of CERD:
Please note that the Blackboard VLE will not be available during the period of 24-26 August. This is to allow ICT staff to carry out essential maintenance work in preparation for the new academic year.
We hope this essential maintenance causes minimal disruption.
Normal service will resume on 27 August, or earlier if scheduled work is completed sooner than anticipated.
Find out about these topics at the forthcoming event on the 23rd June organised by the Library and CERD.
Buffet included at 12 noon!
The event “Supporting the learning experience” in the EMMTEC building will include a series of 10 minute presentations on topics including Peer assisted learning, Blackboard, WordPress, e-resources, learning development and e-portfolios.
You can also have the opportunity to meet book publishers and database suppliers in the exhibtion area of the EMMTEC foyer.

In response to requests from academic colleagues for more detailed guidance about copyright, digitisation and Blackboard, we have produced “Copyright and the licensed use of information resources in Blackboard“, a guide for academic staff at the University of Lincoln.
It explains what you can and cannot do when delivering information resources (books, journals, magazines, newspapers, web sites, images, and audiovisual material) to students as a part of your teaching materials in a Blackboard site.
We would be pleased to receive any comments about this guide. Please email:
