Ah, another day, another raft of Blackboard & WebCT info that the companies themselves don’t seem to want to share with us :o)
On the plagiarism front, looks like Safeassignment is not just a blip either, here’s an interesting post from an “Email automatically forwarded from my Blackboard listserv subscriptions” blog Blackboard Postings which describes how it won them over from Turn It In, who apparently sent them “via post some very damning – you could say libellous – materials about Safe Assignment… which wre highly debatable,but which TII promote even on at least one website”.. crikey, the plagiarism wars are obviously coming along…
Also picked up on an infrequently posted to but interesting Blackboard implementation blog here. And you ‘compile’ fans out there will be delighted by the new, with audio, version of Eric’s Captivate demo.
