Behind the Blackboard
Blackboard.com
At NTNU, we have an intranet for students and employees, where we post (almost) all links and information on wiki pages and message feeds. The exception has been the (old) learning management system, where each course has its own message/news feed and the system itself has its own message feed (just like Blackboard). This means that all messages from teachers about the courses, as well as notifications about the courses, are isolated in the LMS, with all other information on the intranet. Since the courses are the most important aspect of their studies, this means that information written in the LMS is far more visible to students than the information in the intranet.
We are hoping to traverse this divide by populating our intranet with announcements and notifications from Bb, and populate Bb with the news feeds from the intranet. Thus far, we have not decided if we will do this with custom B2s or core functionality.
I'm interested in learning if anyone is using Blackboard as the institution intranet, and if not: how you have designed the relationship between your intranet and Blackboard (which nformation goes where etc).
Hi Marit, I would suggest that raise this question to the wider community as there are numerous of great examples outside of Scandinavia for this as well (University of Sheffield Hallam, University of Groningen, University of Manchester, etc.).
Lise: Maybe you can share what University of Southern Denmark is doing within this field.
Johan: I know that Halmstad University have previously reviewed your options of increasing the scope of use of Bb Learn, please share what you can with Marit.
