I would NOT recommend upgrading to Blackboard 7.1 as there are NUMEROUS significant problems with it. Some of the problems include quizzes that require essays and/or short answers (the answers disappear); and problem with the inability by some users to read replies in the discussion board. Before you upgrade, take a look at all the known issues and you might not be so quick to do so.
We upgraded just before our summer sessions and have deeply regretted it, but because the upgrade required changes in our databases, we could not roll back. We do not use Blackboard as heavily with our summer courses and I'm dreading the fall.
