As Blackboard becomes more ubiquitous in schools classrooms and on campuses across the United States and abroad, there is a real need for instructors to have access to just-in-time training. Clients are developing so many new and innovative uses for Blackboard it is becoming increasingly important that users can access the specific instruction they are looking for at a time and location that is convenient for them. Blackboard training addresses all of these needs. |
The LAMS Building Block is a prime example of open source and Blackboard working together towards the common goal of enhancing education. This new tool clearly demonstrates that open source and corporate developed/supported software do not and should not be mutually exclusive of each other; but instead can work side by side to create an end result greater than the sum of the individual parts. It is tremendously exciting to work with LAMS to facilitate this kind of cutting edge functionality. |
