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.

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.
