Blackboard Learn 4001.4.0 Maintenance Releases

Blackboard Learn 4001.4.0 (Oct 13, 2026) Update to Client Test/Stage environments

Information:

Update to Client Test/Stage Environments (Published Nov 3, 2026):

An updated release of 4001.4.0 (full release number: 4001.4.0-rel.58+b22e012) is being applied to Client Test servers on Tuesday, Nov 3, 2026.

We have fixed:

  • Users Unable to Complete MFA Enrollment with SAML SSO # 17768571

  • When the Respondus LTI 1.3 Dashboard placement was enabled, duplicate Respondus tool entries could appear in Books & Course Tools; this has been corrected so that only the appropriate LTI 1.3 tool is displayed.

  • When the Respondus LTI 1.3 Dashboard placement was active, the student LockDown Browser download link could still use the legacy LTI 1.1 institution ID; this has been corrected so the download URL now uses the institution ID configured for the LTI 1.3 integration.

  • For some SCORM content, the learner ID was displayed as an internal user identifier instead of the user's Blackboard username; this has been corrected so cmi.learner_id and cmi.core.student_id now return the Blackboard username for enrolled students.
