Welcome to the Blackboard Mailbag, where we feature a commonly asked question that has been hitting our mailbox recently: blackboard@fordham.edu. You’ll find an archive of all of the previous questions and answers on our fordham.edu/blackboard website.
Note: Features may change with future updates.
The Blackboard team needs to update our Zoom integration in Blackboard to remedy an issue where the system displays the incorrect time zone for Zoom meetings to students. To minimize any potential impact in fixing this, we will be performing this work on Thursday, December 21, after finals and classes have ended.
We aim to ensure a seamless transition, but please be aware that links to future Zoom meetings in your Spring courses may be affected. If any meetings disappear after the update, simply reschedule them to recreate the links.
We apologize for the inconvenience, but this work is necessary. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to Alan Cafferkey, Director of Educational Technologies, directly at cafferkey@fordham.edu.
Otherwise, have a great holiday break and we’ll see you in the new year!
