The Blackboard upgrade originally scheduled for Bank Holiday Monday has been postponed until later in the academic year.<\/p>\n

However we have applied some changes to the colour scheme and styles in use on our Blackboard system.<\/p>\n

For most users the most noticeable change will be that – in response to user comments, and after\u00a0consultation with DPS – the top banner is now grey rather than red.<\/p>\n

However changes have also been made to improve the visibility of\u00a0information on the\u00a0Enrolments tab and elsewhere. For instance, where you are enrolled on a number of courses with different roles, it was previously difficult to see where one list ended and the next began. With the new styles in place, this should now be\u00a0much clearer.<\/p>\n

\"Courses<\/a><\/p>\n

There are\u00a0other areas\u00a0in Blackboard e.g. the\u00a0Groups management pages, where the visibility of text and menu items has been improved.<\/p>\n

Henley Business School staff:<\/strong><\/p>\n

you will continue to see a blue top banner in Blackboard, but the other improvements mentioned here\u00a0have\u00a0also been\u00a0applied to the HBS Blackboard brand.<\/p>\n
