A Bridge Between Blackboard and Open Source?
Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:A Bridge Between Blackboard and Open Source? (ID: CSD5394)
Author(s):Andrew Guess (Inside Higher Ed)
Origin:Contributed by Organizations or Campuses (07/15/2008)
Type:Articles, Papers, and Reports
Abstract:

"Blackboard, the dominant player in course management software, has the ability to inspire devotion and, for the more fervid open-source adherents, not a little contempt. So today’s announcement may cause a stir among those more apt to liken Blackboard to the devil than a gentle giant: The company is partnering with Syracuse University to develop a way to integrate Blackboard with Sakai, one of the primary open-source alternatives."

Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Traversing the LMS terrain (ID: CSD5336)
Author(s):Kelly Wainwright (Lewis & Clark College), Michael Osterman (Whitman College), Christina M. Finneran (Bowdoin College), and Bill Hill (Seattle University)
Origin:Contributed by Organizations or Campuses (10/15/2007)
Type:Articles, Papers, and Reports
Abstract:

With the emergence of strong open source contenders in the Learning Management System (LMS) arena, many schools are evaluating whether to stay with one of the commercial LMS products such as Blackboard/WebCT or moving to one of the open source solutions which are free to use, but offer no corporate support. There are many factors contributing to such a decision beyond price including migration from a current LMS, technical and faculty support and buy in. In the end, it is a decision that an institution needs to be well informed to make.
