Gaming and Narration: Fact or Fiction?

 
From Chris Bigenho, Director of Educational Technology, Greenhill School and Rhonda Blackburn, PhD, Associate Provost, Educational Enhancement, The University of Texas at Dallas

It is hard to believe that BbWorld ‘09 is next week. Rhonda and I are both excited about what this year will have to offer. We have been attending these conferences for several years now and each year brings new ideas and possibilities. While I am always interested in learning about the direction of the Blackboard platforms, I personally enjoy making connections with other educators who are looking at creative and powerful ways of changing the face of learning and making teaching and learning more relevant.

New Blog from Ray Henderson, President of Blackboard Learn

Last week, Ray Henderson, the newly appointed President of Blackboard Learn, launched his self-titled blog, Ray Henderson. His blog will serve as a unique channel for him to share insight about industry issues like openness, standards and interoperability and his musings on various things in e-learning. If you don’t already know, Ray was formerly Vice President and Chief Products Officer at ANGEL Learning where he led product strategy, product development and go-to-market efforts. After the ANGEL Acquisition in May, Ray joined Blackboard as the President of Blackboard Learn.
