Hannah Waley comments cogently on Blackboard's acquisition of ANGEL, from the perspectives of a Blackboard-using learning technologist in a Scottish university. Hannah concludes:
"Maybe they have learnt nothing at all from the WebCT merger, but I
don’t believe that could be the case. However, learning is not enough
alone, and they must act on what they have learnt. I hope they do, as
it could benefit many institutions. I’m possibly too optimistic, but I
feel that a focus on the negatives helps no-one. There will be
opportunities to come from bbplusangel - perhaps people should focus on
providing a strong community voice to guide them."
The rest of Hannah's newish blog is well worth a look.
