UPDATE:<\/strong> Have another source who disagrees with Badge who made the claim below.<\/p>\n

Hopefully this is true. I’d hate to be spreading a false rumor. Anyone willing to confirm? \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

According to J. L. Badge, Blackboard 9 will be the “NextGen”<\/a> product we are… *cough* eagerly… *ahem* waiting to see. John Fontaine was in our building Thursday. He mentioned NextGen several times. I must have fallen asleep to have missed a version number was mentioned when he talked about NextGen. It makes me wonder if Jan Posten Day’s recent blog post re: Blackboard Ide Exchange is to elicit early feedback on NextGen?<\/p>\n

Certainly, if Bb9 is The One and people can get a first look at BbWorld ’08, then the conference will be mobbed. Lovely.<\/p>\n

The “Too little, too late.” comment is funny. Apparently he is professor who has moved on to hanging out by himself in Second Life. A little ahead of the curve.<\/p>\n

My interest for Blackboard products are 1) stability, 2) deployments, and 3) doing tier 3+ support well. These early looks are only going to tell me maybe a bit about #3. I really won’t know what I want to know until I talk to the Bb Perfomance Team and look at the dirt from the command-line. Of course, the elimination of all but a few Java applets deserves for us to lift John Fontaine up on our shoulders and parade him around all during BbWorld ’09.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
