Blackboard’s Collaborate suite includes products brought on board this year through the acquisition of Elluminate (unified learning and collaboration via Web conferencing and social networking) and Wimba (collaborative learning services and solutions). Customers like University of California Riverside Extension and University of North Texas have used Elluminate, Wimba or other mobile learning products for a while, and are now finding that these tools are even more powerful when connected with Blackboard solutions. One example: University of California Riverside, which has been using Moodle, a free, open source PHP Web application for creating Internet-based courses. Moodle and Blackboard integration is adding even more value. “The Elluminate Bridge for Moodle is a powerful tool that makes it easy for our instructors to incorporate the real time interaction offered by Elluminate right inside their courses,” UC Riverside’s Distance Learning Coordinator Brian Reilly said in a statement to the press.
