New Microsoft Education integration with Weblearn
Release date: September 2025
The Microsoft Teams integration with Weblearn will be replaced with a new Microsoft Education integration. The ‘Microsoft Teams’ link available under the Details and Actions menu will change to ‘Microsoft Education’.
Note: During the switchover period Microsoft Teams will be unavailable in modules on Weblearn.
Existing meetings set up using the current integration will continue to work after the change.
New Activity page for staff
Release date: 4 September
Blackboard have updated the Activity page for instructors to improve usability and efficiency. Previously, this page only displayed the activity stream—a chronological list of module updates and upcoming events. This update streamlines module oversight, making it easier and more efficient to access modules, view system wide announcements and module updates.
Block styling options for Documents
Release date: 4 September
Instructors will have the ability to enhance the visual appearance of content using the content styling blocks.
The style options include:
- Question
- Tip
- Key points
- Next steps
- Highlight
To style a block, click on the style icon in the menu.
Start of year resources for students
The student resources page for staff contains up-to-date start of year slides and videos for Weblearn, IT essentials and online submission.
Staff can adapt or reuse any of the resources provided.
