The University of Otago offers teaching staff and coordinators several learning management systems to provide and structure course material, collect assignment submissions digitally, and copy course content from one year into the next.

  • Blackboard is the primary learning management system used by teaching staff to deliver course material. Papers are created in Blackboard and teaching staff upload and organise their teaching material to be made available for students.
  • Brightspace is the University's new learning management system, which is set to fully replace Blackboard by 2027.
  • Moodle is the learning management system used by some departments in the Health Sciences division. Papers are created in Moodle and teaching staff upload and organise their teaching material to be made available for students.
  • Blackboard Paper Administration, formerly known as Blackboard Staff, allows teaching staff and administrators to roll-over previous Blackboard papers into subsequent semesters, copying forward the existing structure and course material.
