We are testing Bb at City College Manchester. We selected Bb primarily if not solely for its ease of use while recognising that no VLE currently delivers everything we want in FE. We are currently looking at its integration with a MIS system utilising an Oracle database.

The University of Salford is currently evaluating these VLE's and would appreciate any information which is relevant to helping us make the decision.
In general, how much is perceived ease of use (Blackboard) more important than pedagogical sophistication (WebCT)?
Specifically, we would like to hear from institutions who have successfully (or not) integrated Blackboard with other data sets in their institutions, in particular, Banner and Campus Pipeline. Is it possible?
Thanks,
Andrew Gold
