Stephen links to Blackboard's announcement of extending their platform to include more diversified approaches to learning. He states: "Blackboard has embraced e-learning 2.0. Proposals include "personalizing the e-Learning environment," facilitation of social networking, "Network Learning Environments," and workplace learning. It's pretty clear that I think they are moving in the right direction with this."
I agree - this approach will greatly benefit learners and educators alike. It's nice to see larger corporations listening. Quick question to Blackboard: Since the press release sounds like articles Stephen and I have written (well, at least the four pillars), should we be expecting a cheque in the mail shortly?
And I hope this time their UI won't be as bad as the current offering.
