| Description: | There is little doubt that learning management systems (LMS) like Blackboard provide a convenient and consistent means to support web-based delivery of course information. Indeed, with an estimated 80% market share, Blackboard has become a default expectation on many college and university campuses. With its Project Next Generation upgrade, Blackboard heralds the integration of many web 2.0 features and a media rich course environment. What is the potential impact of these changes for faculty? Is there an implied pedagogy in LMS tools like Blackboard? Is the traditional LMS viewed as a learning space by faculty and students? Join us to engage with these and other questions about how the use of Blackboard shapes teaching and learning. |
