How to find BbWorld, DevCon, & Other Conference Recordings
Posted on 06:40 by Unknown
It is hard to believe that it has been over a month since the fast pace, fun, learning week with Bb. Now we can reminisce some of the event, right in our own office. There were so many GREAT sessions to pick from this year at the Blackboard DevCon and BbWorld Conferences, many of us were unable to attend all the sessions we wanted. Thankfully Blackboard (Bb) recorded several sessions and

A Place To Visit: Metro Richmond Zoo

If Moseley (VA) is not to far away from you and you have young kids or just like animals, I suggest you visit the Metro Richmond Zoo.

WileyPlus and Blackboard
Posted on 17:56 by Unknown
Shenandoah University installed the WileyPlus Blackboard building block almost immediately after the announcement came out. I was wondering if I did the right thing at BbWorld because I heard other admins saying they don't like publisher building blocks due to support issues, but it has proven to be a good thing for SU. Read my initial post on the new publisher building blocks, by clicking here.
