Ladies and Gentlemen,
Lately we have received a lot of formal and informal information requests
regarding support for the JISC 01/01 grant concerning Interoperability
between information systems in FE and HE. At Blackboard we are excited about
this opportunity for extra funding to show that collaboration
between FE and HE institutions, regionally or otherwise, can work based on
mutual goals and collaborative technology decisions. At various Universities
and Colleges this collaboration is a reality already and we are eager to
support bids that will create more funding for the institutions involved and
subsequently develop into showcase projects.
The Blackboard learning environment is in use at both FE and HE instutions
so we expect that Blackboard customers (and soon-to-be customers) will apply
for this funding. I am aware of 6 bids and expect there are more being
prepared.
In order to increase the chances of your submission being selected we would
like you to come forward so we can help you with supporting documentation
and business concepts, as well as update you on the work that has already
been done as part of the JISC FE Interoperability bids that Blackboard is
already involved with. We can then also review the Blackboard licensing and
services aspects of such FE/HE collaboration in order to make sure that
all ingredients for success are included.
Please send your replies directly to me or come see me at the upcoming ALT
conference.
Kind regards,
Bas ten Holter
Director, Blackboard Europe, Middle East & Africa
