As a reminder, Pitt Information Technology contacted all instructors to let them know that CourseWeb (Blackboard Learn) will be fully decommissioned on Friday, Dec. 24, 2021. The Blackboard Learn website will no longer be accessible to any user after this date.

Prior to decommissioning, instructors can request temporary access to the full Blackboard site and all data stored there using this form. Requests will be reviewed by system administrators on a first-come, first-serve basis. However, submitting a request to access the archive does not automatically guarantee its approval.

For more information about what happens to Blackboard data after it is decommissioned, visit the Blackboard Data Retrieval page.

As previously announced, Pitt has successfully transitioned from Blackboard Learn to Canvas as our learning management system (LMS). Find details and the latest updates at teaching.pitt.edu/canvas. Canvas also offers 24/7/365 support for all Pitt faculty, student, and staff.

Please contact the Technology Help Desk at 412-624-HELP (4357) if you have any questions regarding this announcement.
