Hi Neil, I think this is a good idea, any of the dates are fine with me (so far!). Did you know that Barbara Watson and Kate Boardman have already initiated a similar offer to go to Durhan on 12th Dec? It appears to me that we have two good opportunities to do a 'start and end of semester' look at Blackboard to share experiences. I hope I haven't upset Barbara or Kate by over publicising their meeting - I'm sure Kate will tell me off if I've overstepped the mark! :-) regards Paul ____________________________________________ Paul Chin Learning Technology Adviser Academic Services Learning Development Hardy Building University of Hull,Hull HU6 7RX email: [log in to unmask] tel: +44 (0)1482 465508 (direct line) tel: +44 (0)1482 465198 (dept. office) Fax: +44 (0)1482 465458 ____________________________________________ -----Original Message----- From: Neil Ringan [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: 21 September 2000 12:49 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Get Together Hi all I have been having a think about the ways in which those of us who are using Blackboard can share our experiences and expertise and in the spirit of setting the ball rolling, would like to invite those of you who are interested to come to Huddersfield to have a very informal get together. I was thinking of an afternoon session, starting with lunch, then really just giving each of us the opportunity to talk about what we are doing with Blackboard, any good or bad things which we have identified, and possibly have a chat about how we might set up and/or manage an ongoing self-support mechanism in addition to the mailbase discussion list. We'll also be able to put names to faces from the discussion list !! Possible dates are :- Friday 13th October (!!) Thursday 19th October Friday 20th October I appreciate that the Blackboard user base is scattered across the UK, but Huddersfield is fairly easy to get to from most places, and I'll throw in a free lunch by way of bribery and corruption !!! I hope nobody thinks I'm trying to do any empire building (I'm not !!) but I'm just genuinely keen that we all learn from (and help) each other as much as we can. If you could let me know which date would be your preference (either directly or via the list), I'll pick the one which would enable the maximum number of people to come.
