Ben...
Bb L1, L2 and L3 are being discontinued. This is part of a product/pricing restucture at Bb. The product of most interest to the FE sector will be the Blackboard 5 Learning System which is priced at $30,000pa. Are you upgrading to this product?
Cheers
Stan

Has anyone upgraded from Bb level 1 to level 3?
We are about to do (over Xmas) and I have a specific, fairly obvious
question:
Is existing user and course data picked up automatically once
you instal level 3?
In other words, can you simply overwrite previous installation and
assume Bb will pick up existing course content and user information?
We are, of course, backing up all courses into archives. But I would
rather avoid having to manually import these if possible - it will be
_another_ very laborious task and certain things are lost - e.g. time of
discussion postings.
I should point out I can find no mention of this in the installation
documentation for level three ;-) There is info about migrating from
course info versions to Bb5 but nothing about moving up levels.
I hope someone can answer this seemingly simple question.
I know Bb staff are on this list - as I have received their auto replies
:-) Halyna....?
