The OU's Niall Sclater on Blackboard's "Next Generation" learning platform

Niall Sclater leads the Open University's VLE Programme.

I had not come across his interesting blog before, and it is now on my reading list.

Niall is responsible for the OU's widely reported and watched implementation of Moodle, for which reason his enthusiastic description of Blackboard's "Next Generation" learning platform - based on a presentation about the product given by Blackboard CEO Michael Chasen in Manchester on 13 May, rather than on direct experience of it - is worth reading, along with the comments that have been made on the post.
