I recently had a look at Scholar. I think I would have been impressed if I had never seen del.icio.us (or alternatives) but I fail to see what this product offers over bricolage-type uses of other social bookmarking see http://francesbell.com/2008/01/12/9/. I share Charlie Morris's scepticism of the use of the term free in this context. Social bookmarkers, in a small but significant way, add content to existing content by links and notes. Why should I add content to something that will be used by Blackboard to sell its product? The significant question to ask with all 'free' services to which you contribute content is How likely is it that this will be available and free in 5 years time? Hence my choice of del.icio.us Thanks for the links to resources.

Your system admin needs to install a Building Block or PowerLink on your server for you to get your Scholar account. There is no charge for Blackboard clients to get the Building Block or PowerLink. If you just want to browse other folks' collections or subscribe to RSS feeds, you can do that directly at www.scholar.com, whether you use Blackboard Learning System(s) or not.

I personally prefer del.icio.us. Thanks for the posting, I'll refer to it as a resource when trying to explain pedagogical value of social bookmarking.

It is currently under evaluation and it might became available in the future depending on the resources available and priorities." Hopefully it won't be long till we can get this going. If we don't use Blackboard, we will turn to other sources. Might as well have something that integrates with a system we are already using. :) Update: I emailed our Blackboard folks here at UNC campus and they said: “The Scholar tool is not available in the UNC-CH Blackboard system.
