Blackboard has now been decommissioned as part of the transition to Canvas as the University's Central Learning Environment.

Please follow the below link to access Canvas\
<https://canvas.manchester.ac.uk>.

For colleagues accessing University-wide Compliance & Risk and Professional Development courses, including Essential Courses for All Colleagues, please access via the MyDevelopment catalogue\
<https://mydevelopment.manchester.ac.uk>.

As part of the transition, we have migrated the last 3 years of courses from Blackboard and enrolled staff and students to these so you can access course materials immediately. These will be prefixed with 'LEGACY' and be available from All Course > Past Enrolments
