A Glimpse Of This Weeks Bb LEARN Discussions
Posted on 09:20 by Unknown
This week I was accused of having a PhD in Blackboard. I have checked Blackboard's training program here and see nothing about them offering a PhD program yet...but who knows maybe one day. Seriously, I do have a PhD but it is from an accredited university and is in Applied Management and Decision Sciences.

A Thanksgiving Poem About Blackboard Incorporated
Posted on 13:30 by Unknown
This poem is a summary of my year working with Blackboard as a System Administrator, Developer, Student, and Instructor.

Yesterday, while sitting in the Blackboard (Bb) Inc. SP13/SP14 Admin Cohort, I noticed that there was a new building block. I was even more intrigued by the name "Financial Aid". The first thing that popped into my head was that is in our SIS, what is Blackboard up too?
So I was off to install on the development instance, test instance, and staging instance...all were successful. Finally it went

In Review: One Administrators Day At Bb Headquarters
Posted on 13:21 by Unknown
Last Friday (11/8), I had the pleasure of spending the day at the Blackboard Inc (Bb) Headquarters in Washington, D.C and talk with some of the greatest minds in educational technology. This was a day of learning for me and hopefully Blackboard also learned a few things.
I was highly frustrated about parking in D.C. when construction around the Bb office was going on. But once again my
