Clicker Updates Reflect Secure Connection for New Blackboard

Students will need to re-register their devices

Since UMBC migrated to the new Blackboard managed hosting site, instructors who use clickers must now include https with the URL to access TurningPoint course participant lists. The full URL is now https://blackboard.umbc.edu. In previous semesters, instructors did not need to include the prefix or “s” to secure the session.

Turning Technologies also updated the way the Blackboard registration tool functions and stores information. Previously, the information was stored within Blackboard. Now the information is stored on Turning Technologies' servers.
Students will need to re-register their devices.
