Guide for Migrated Courses

Migration Basics

• Content migrates well! (For the most part…)
• Migrated courses are ready for you according to the RamCT Course Migration Schedule.
• Migrated courses never have students. After updating content in a Migrated course, instructors will copy content into a RamCT Blackboard Teaching Course.
• Teaching courses can be requested by primary instructors in ARIESweb, see How-To.
• Because of the new functions and different steps in RamCT Blackboard, migrated content will be in different places and needs updating.
