Course requests
Staging course request
Overview
You can request a 'sandpit' or 'test' course on our test server Staging. Courses on Staging
can be used to experiment with and test Learn.UQ course site functionality. There is no
student access to Staging.
Note: You may already have a sandpit course on Staging, as they were setup for all UQ
course coordinators in 2013. Visit https://staging-blackboard.elearning.uq.edu.au to check.
Warning: Staging is upgraded to the next version of Blackboard before the upgrade to
Learn.UQ. i.e. It may have new tools and features not currently available in Learn.UQ.
