Back to Blackboard: What's New, What's Next, and a Better Gradebook

Texas Blackboard User Group (TBUG) Friday, August 21 | 11:00 AM–12:00 PM CST

Join us as we kick off another exciting year of TBUG!

We'll start by sharing highlights from our time together at the Anthology Together conference, including product announcements, favorite sessions, and stories from our in-person Texas meetup. If you couldn't make it, this is your chance to catch up on the biggest news and hear what everyone is talking about.

Then we'll welcome Edgar Gonzalez from Anthology for an exclusive look at the upcoming Blackboard Gradebook Grid View redesign.

Edgar will walk us through:

1. The new Grade Details panel that brings grading information and actions together in one convenient location.
2. Streamlined workflows for entering and posting grades.
3. A simplified approach to accommodations, exceptions, and exemptions.
4. What has changed—and just as importantly—what hasn't. This is a user interface enhancement designed to make grading more efficient while preserving the grading functionality instructors already know and trust.

Whether you're an LMS administrator preparing faculty for the fall semester or simply curious about what's coming next in Blackboard, this session will provide practical insights and plenty of opportunities for discussion.

Come reconnect with colleagues from across Texas, hear the latest Blackboard news, and get ready for another great year with TBUG!
