Transition Info
Cuyahoga Community College (Tri-C®) is transitioning its learning management system (LMS) from Anthology’s Blackboard Learn to D2L’s Brightspace. In the Summer and Fall 2024 terms, courses may be taught in either Blackboard Learn or Brightspace. Depending on students’ course schedules, this may mean that all their courses are in Blackboard, all their courses are in Brightspace, or some of their courses are in Blackboard and some of their courses are in Brightspace.
As advocates of our Tri-C students’ success, we would like to share with you how you can help our students access their courses during our transition phases. While we emailed all our active students with the course access instructions below, we also wanted to share them with you if you encounter a student needing help.
Tri-C has many resources on this page to help faculty access and navigate Brightspace. We want to make everyone’s experience during our transition to Brightspace seamless. Contact us at 216-987-HELP (4357) or helpdesk@tri-c.edu if you have any questions or need help.
