In 1999 the UO Faculty Instructional Training Group concluded that the institution needed to implement a course management system for general faculty use. The software platform the committee chose was Blackboard, primarily for its ease of use and gentle learning curve â they felt that those two factors would do the most to encourage reluctant faculty. UO has 13,400 undergraduates and uses SCT Banner as their SIS system. Universiteit Maastricht [Maastricht, The Netherlands] Universiteit Maastricht is one of the youngest and most rapidly growing Dutch universities. The university has dedicated itself to providing the highest quality education and research practices to students. With problem based learning (PBL) a cornerstone to the university's approach to teaching and learning, it was essential that their selected online environment incorporate the institution's existing PBL application, Polaris. Beginning in 2000, the institution partnered with Blackboard based on the platform's ease of use and ability to integrate Polaris into the Blackboard Learning System via Blackboard Building Blocks. Today, the institution hosts more than 5,000 courses and communities on Blackboard. | |
