All Fall 2012 courses are created and empty inside the new Blackboard 9 system (as well as BB 8 system). All of the content in your existing Blackboard 8 courses will not be automatically moved over to the new version of Blackboard 9 system.
Starting on July 15, 2012, Faculty members will need to export BB 8 course content and import course content into the new BB 9 system. This process is very similar to a course copy inside the current BB 8 system.
Faculty are welcome to attend Changes and New Features workshop or Open session workshops, where they will have time to move BB 8 course content into the new BB 9 system.
