It's a new list Mark, so no archive yet. I have to confess that as a lad from South Staffordshire, I struggle with the concept of Northampton as part of the Midlands, let alone Luton!! ;>) However, I have no objections to southern interlopers. We're all Brummies these days...

Designed to bring together institutions using Bb in and around the midlands area, it is proposed that the group meet a few times in the year to share experiences / discuss support issues and explore development ideas (eg potential Building Blocks that we could all make use of). Both Blackboard and the JISC Midlands RSC have given their full support to the setup of this group and will try to have representation when the dates allow. If you are interested in further communication with the Midlands group, then join the discussion list at: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/m-blackboard.html We already have representation from: DMU / Leicester Uni / North Nottinghamshire College / Lincoln College / Uni College Northampton If you are able to attend the first meeting on 7th April then please let me know Regards Rob Howe University College Northampton
