One or two people have written asking if they can join even if they did not
attend the user group - of course the answer is yes!
The setting up of the site came out of that meeting as a suggestion - many
of us felt that we needed a properly threaded discussion group split into a
few areas of specific interest but located in such as way that generalists
like myself could look at all the groups.
There is not (at the moment) any formal membership for the user group and
basically it is intended for anyone who has some responsibility for the
delivery of the Blackboard platform in their university - whether they come
from an admin, technical or pedagogical standpoint.
I would expect that we will be seeing some more debate about how we
organise and structure the UK Blackboard User Group in the coming weeks -
the discussion board however seemed to be something which could be
established quite quickly using a Blackboard course site.
So please feel free to join (if you are a WebCT "spy" then I doubt if you
will find any deep secrets here so welcome anyway and remember the new
extradition arrangements dont as yet apply to the USA!!)
