Location: University of Strathclyde, Glasgow
At the last meeting of the Celtic WebCT User Group, we started to discuss how we might bring together colleagues from across the Campus Edition/Vista and Blackboard ‘Classic’ communities with a view to widening the membership of the existing User Group.
With the forthcoming release of ‘Product NG’ application packs, the Next Generation technology, fast approaching, we felt that it would be timely to hold a special meeting of the ‘Celtic WebCT User Group’ which will focus upon how the whole Blackboard community in this region can work together to share experience and good practice.
The meeting will also be an opportunity for those of you unable to attend the BbWorld Europe meeting in Manchester to catch up on the latest news from the wider Blackboard community and meet with senior members of Blackboard’s Client Engagement personnel, who will be attending to update us on Blackboard’s Client Success Initiative and general Blackboard news.
