Blackboard to Brightspace
FIT is switching from the Blackboard Learning Management System (LMS) to D2L Brightspace. Blackboard will be available until the end of summer 2023. Beginning Fall 2023, FIT will no longer be using Blackboard as its LMS and will be fully converted to Brightspace as our LMS.
Please note that not every professor will choose to use Brightspace; students can find their online and blended sections, as well as the face-to-face courses that do utilize Brightspace, on their Brightspace page. Students will see courses listed on the Brightspace home page on August 28th (August 21st for online courses).
