Request a Course Migration from Blackboard to Brightspace

If you would like a course migrated to Brightspace that you don’t yet see, you can submit the Course Request Form. Note that manual migration only can be applied to courses that are less than 1GB in course size in Blackboard.

COURSE REQUEST FORM

Why would I need to do this?

IT is managing the migration of your Fall 2019 courses as a starting point from Blackboard into Brightspace sometime in April, these migrations will be done in batches and may not include a course you want to be working in.  Other semesters of the migration would follow after the completion of Fall 2019 courses.

Use the form above to specify a course be migrated from Blackboard to Brightspace that is not currently available to you.  Please check your Brightspace account first at courses.maine.edu to be sure that the course you are interested in is not there.

Once your course is in Brightspace, you can modify the course, explore new features available to you in Brightspace, and correct any migration errors. Once done, you can copy that materials into a live course shell when appropriate (course shells/offerings are different than sandboxes in that they are tied to MaineStreet, and therefore to student enrollments).
