A Blackboard innovation story
Posted by Mark Winegar on August 14, 2008
We’ve been using Blackboard at Mount Marty College for several years now and developing mastery has been an evolutionary process. We’re using our installed version near to its limits and I’m ready for some new capabilities. I’m particularly interested in podcast support and student photo logs of my sections. Remembering names is a personal weakness and I could use the help.
Fortunately Blackboard keeps improving its course management software. There are tons of new capabilities in the latest release. What this clip to find out what’s new.
I’m impressed! The University of Cincinnati is using the latest version of Blackboard in lots of new ways:
- student photo roster
- integrated grade book
- podcast building block
- student-controlled portal
- campus polling
- multiple community organizations
- integrated campus services
I’m going to ask the Dean to make an investment in this update.
