Teaching and Classroom Technology (TCT, part of IT) is in the early stages of evaluating current Blackboard organization sites, and there is no definitive process or timeline for their migration at this time. Once there is more information we will communicate directly with organization site leaders with next steps.

Note: The LMS is not always the best place for organizations to store their files, communicate with members, etc. In Canvas, organizations are identical to courses but have things like the grade book hidden. The University provides tools like Sharepoint sites or e-Portfolio sites, which may be a better place for your organization site.
