The New Blackboard Learn Site
Our new Blackboard site can be found at https://usd232.blackboard.com/. The new site will be listed on the bottom of the District homepage as “New Blackboard Learn”. In order to give staff time to migrate over their course content the old site will be available through the district website until September 30. It will be titled “Old Blackboard Learn”.
Staff may login to the new site using their network username and password.
We have created tutorials for Exporting and Importing Content from an Organization or Class and these are located on the staff drive. In addition, we have created a tutorial on how to enroll in an organization. All Organizations are now self-enrolled. School sites have a password, which we will share with principals so they can share with members of their team. All Curriculum and PD OnDemand Organizations in Blackboard have the same access code to enroll: TandL
Staff may request for an Organization to be created or for classes to be bundled using the following online form. Please allow one week for all requests to be completed.
Requests (Organizations or Class Bundles)

The T&L staff will be out in September to provide ongoing Blackboard PD to all staff members.
Thank you for your patience and flexibility as we transition to the new site!
