Blackboard Service Outage | Toriad Gwasanaeth Blackboard

UpcomingAug 26, 03:00 pm - Aug 26, 05:00 pm (UTC)
We have received notification from Blackboard Technical Support to advise that essential maintenance and security upgrades to our Blackboard services will be performed on 26/08/2026 from 20:00 until approximately 22:00 BST. Impact: All Blackboard users and Blackboard services including integrations where users are accessing them via Blackboard e.g. Inspera, Turnitin, CodeGrade, Vevox, Panopto. THIS OUTAGE DOES NOT IMPACT SERVICES WHERE USERS ACCESS THEM DIRECTLY/FROM OUTSIDE BLACKBOARD. Steps recommended to reduce impact: Colleagues: • Revise any mark/feedback release and assessment/assignment submission deadlines. Where possible, avoid 26/08/26 and 27/08/26 altogether. • Consider postponing any module/course content creation/update activities on 26/08/26 and 27/08/26. • If you are planning to deliver content from Blackboard after 5pm on 26/08/26 or during the day on 27/08/26, try to have backups of any presentations or materials available outside Blackboard that you can refer to as a contingency. Although it is unlikely to begin sooner or end later, we cannot guarantee the start and end times of the outage. If you experience any issues, please contact the IT services (EdTech) team via a Fresh Service Support ticket at: https://support.southwales.ac.uk/support/tickets/new Students: • Check your submission deadlines. • If you have any submission deadlines after 5pm on 26/08/26 (BST) or on 27/08/2026, please contact your module tutor/module leader for advice. • We cannot guarantee that any submissions posted after 5pm on 26/08/2026 will be received.
