Hello Merv
Many thanks for your reply. I am hoping to get an evaluation copy so we
can "try before you buy". Our reasoning behind using the content system
was that we wanted it to be familiar with staff already using Bb. I am
assuming that your staff have found no problems with its look and feel
if they are already familiar with the learning system?
I note your comments about the "My Courses" area and will investigate
this when I have a copy to play with.
Kind regards
Tina

Subject: Re: Bb Content System Issues
Tina,
We are in the process of trialling it. Would be happy to discuss
progress off-line with you. One thing I would say is that, at the Bb
users conference in Baltimore this month, several people suggested
turning off access to the My Courses area as, apparently, if someone
stores Bb course content in this area and then the course itself is
removed from the system, this content becomes 'orphaned' i.e. it remains
in the content system but it is no longer accessible as the link to it
is associated with the removed course.
A few other issues were raised, but most people seemed happy with it.
regards
merv
