I was just reading the Campus Technology News Update and a piece of news really got my attention. Blackboard, which we use here on the UNC campus, is launching their own del.icio.us like social bookmarking site.
This is really amazing. I had a somewhat long conversation today with someone about commercial software uses in Education. Yes, it costs money, unlike open-source solutions like Moodle, but you get great developments and a huge basis of users. What do you think about this new development? Maybe I’m just excited about the integration with Blackboard. Of course, I’m sure someone could probably write an open-source extension for Moodle that would link directly with del.icio.us…
I guess I was just so excited that there were coming out with something that we are using on our campus. Yeah!
