Blackboard upgraded to Version 9

Over the July 4th weekend our Blackboard course management software was updated from version 8 to version 9. Version 9 provides a new look and some great new capabilities including drag and drop, notification settings for courses, blogs and wikis for courses and organizations, subtabs for informational pages, and less "clicky" user experience. In addition, the hardware was updated to include a separate database and application server for faster response time.
