As a learner, it can be challenging to maintain a calendar with all the projects and homework you receive. To help you stay organized, Blackboard offers a calendar. This allows you to see due dates and will even remind you when things are due (for any item your instructor has set a due date for).
When you click Calendar on the Blackboard site, you are accessing the Global Calendar. It displays ALL of your calendars and events in one place. You have a personal calendar, an institution calendar, and a course calendar (for any active course you are enrolled in).
Course calendars can also be viewed from within a course. When the calendar is accessed from the course, only course-specific events will display. Other course calendars, your calendar, and the institution calendar are visible and modifiable from the global calendar only.
Austin Community College District (ACC) is updating its Google Shared Drive service to manage storage better and ensure business continuity. The change allows us to prevent data and storage from accumulating after students graduate or leave ACC.
What’s Changing?
As of December 15th, 2024, students will no longer be able to create shared drives. However, faculty and staff will continue to be able to create Shared Drives and can invite students to participate. Faculty advisors can also create Shared Drives for student organizations, ensuring that collaborative efforts are still supported.
Students can still share files and collaborate using their personal Google Drive (My Drive).
To continue to improve the security and performance of our infrastructure, the student-shared drives (not personal drives) themselves will be removed entirely.
Data on any existing student shared drives will be removed on May 15th, 2025.
These changes safeguard our active students attending ACC so they do not lose access to their data.
