Brian Lamb links to blog post by Andre Malan on the limitations of Blackboard. Both Lamb and Malan point out how frustrating it can be to no longer have access to course materials after the course is complete. From Lamb’s commentary:
The point here is not to trash the proprietary CMS, but to point out a value proposition that is obvious, but one I don’t hear stated near often enough. An institution that embraces openness can tell its students, potential students and alumni that a real effort will be made to ensure access to the resources one encounters in courses.
