BeachBoard Upgrade Summer ‘08

To improve BeachBoard’s stability and to support updated Microsoft Office products more effectively, BeachBoard will be upgraded to a newer version beginning this summer. Most of the changes and new features will not greatly affect the look and feel of BeachBoard’s tools. However, communication tools such as announcements, email and the discussion boards will reflect new enhancements.

For information regarding the features in the new version, please see the following URL:
