Recent fixes to known issues & changes since Blackboard upgrade: - access to Turnitin papers via Grade Centre / Marks - disclaimer at step 1 of Turnitin submission process - potentially misleading 'pill' colours on the Marks page now monochrome

Collaborate - File Downloads for Attendees Attendees can now download files & whiteboards (inc. annotations) using a download icon in the top right of the session. This is to provide better accessibility assistance for attendees. Staff Info: blogs.canterbury.ac.uk/telkbstaff/sha…

RESOLVED: a fix has been successfully applied by the vendor and the Turnitin service should now be available to upload/process papers as standard. Similarity Reports may take a little longer to generate whilst a backlog is processed.

We encourage those with deadlines this afternoon to start uploading their paper as far in advance of the deadline as possible. The Blackboard Institution Page will be updated as soon as more information is available.

Turnitin Service Issue 10-May-2022 We are aware of the below issue which is causing slowness uploading to Turnitin. Those affected with Exam deadlines earlier this morning have been advised according to a message posted to the Blackboard Institution Page learn.canterbury.ac.uk

We are still working on a few elements of the upgrade, which we're looking to resolve asap: - changing 'Courses' on the menu to 'Courses and Modules' - enabling 'Assist', a student resources area - PebblePad automatic login - CCCU disclaimer text when submitting to Turnitin

We have more information about using the new base navigation and an orientation video available when you login, as well as in previous comms: Staff - cccu.canterbury.ac.uk/notices/2022/M… Students - blogs.canterbury.ac.uk/studentnews/bl…
