If you would like to set up documents within Blackboard that all enrolled users can contribute to, you can now use the ‘Collaborative Document’ feature.

Collaborative Documents allow you to set up a new document, or use an existing template from Word, Excel or PowerPoint for the class to use. Once set up, the new file will be copied over to your Blackboard course area where it can be edited. (If copied from OneDrive, your original file will not be altered – only the version that has been deployed to Blackboard.)

Collaborative documents can be useful for use cases such as wikis, course glossaries or documents for group collaboration.

See more on how to add a collaborative document in the Blackboard Manual.

New Microsoft Integrations with Blackboard

Blackboard, Microsoft, Ultra /

We are currently in the process of installing some exciting new Microsoft integrations to our Blackboard virtual learning environment. While these integrations are being installed and tested, you may see references to Microsoft OneDrive and Microsoft Teams throughout various menus within your Ultra courses.

MS Teams in Ultra

While we understand that you are looking forward to trialling these, please could we ask that you refrain from using these features, until they have been fully tested and commissioned.

We will let you know when these features are ready to use with your students.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at TEL, tel@worc.ac.uk
