Blackboard was officially launched by the University of Manchester at the start of the 2008/2009 academic year and is now the officially supported University wide system across the University. Prior to this, the School of Computer Science was supporting many course-units using moodle which they were running and administering within the School itself. Though Blackboard is the officially supported University system, the School of Computer Science will continue to run and support the moodle service whilst there is a compelling reason to carrying on using it (for example, to use features not available in Blackboard) and also to allow time for moodle course-units to be gradually migrated over to Blackboard when it is seen fit to do so.
