Hi,
I don’t think the
issue is at the student end so much. If WebPA is to be used in any significant
way we need to make its use seamless for staff – in other words, module
enrolments and groups created in Blackboard need to be reflected in
WebPA.

Block
Hi
Daniel,
No one (at least
that I know) is working on a building block for WebPA. However , there was a
lady in Scotland who developed a similar tool which I think Blackboard bought
off her, it may even be out now. I haven’t seen it first hand but hear its a
similar tool, though perhaps not quite as developed? I’m conscious I may be
touting the commercial competitor here but I would re-iterate that our tool is
open source, has been built on pedagogic foundations and has a user community. I
can’t recall the person’s institution and details off hand but will try to
recall them for you if you want.
Not sure if this
helps, but at Hull, we currently use Blackboard and students simply access WebPA
through an Intranet. Perhaps not seamlessly linked but since they only use WebPA
periodically i.e. not every day or week, then they don’t see a problem in
accessing it this way.
Regards
Paul

Subject: WebPA Blackboard Building
Block
Hi,
I’m new to the group, so apologies
if this question has been asked before.
I’m working on a project to
implement Blackboard 9 at University of New South Wales.
We have a group assessing peer
review tools and they’re very interested in WebPA. I wonder if anyone has or is
working on a Building Block to integrate WebPA with Blackboard? I’d appreciate
any advice or suggestions.
Thanks,
Daniel Gooch
