In the summer of 2008, LEARN NC will switch to the Moodle Learning Management System, replacing our Blackboard service. Moodle’s widespread use throughout North Carolina and open-source development made it a logical and cost-effective replacement.

We are currently formulating a migration plan for existing Blackboard users, which includes free Moodle training for users who have completed LEARN NC’s Blackboard Training course. Users who wish to transfer their Blackboard courses to a different Blackboard server will be able to request course archives at no cost.

As additional details become available, we will post them here and make them available as system announcements on our Blackboard server.

Welcome to LEARN NC’s new news, information, and updates blog! There is now more happening at LEARN NC than we can tell you about in a single monthly email, and so to keep teachers informed we’ll post updates here, as they happen.

You’ll find:

• New online courses and other professional development opportunities
• Freshly published resources for teachers and students
• Information about LEARN NC programs
• Upcoming events, including conference presentations and LEARN NC workshops
• Updates on resources and programs in development
• Fabulous stuff we found on the web and don’t know where else to put
• Announcements of professional development opportunities from selected partner organizations

Finally, this blog is a chance for you to talk to us — to tell us what you think about our programs and resources, make suggestions, and ask for help.

You can subscribe to the blog via the RSS link in the banner. (Not familiar with RSS? That squarish orange icon with the white broadcast lines always means an RSS feed, which sends updates directly to your browser or other “feed reader.” Read our RSS primer for more information.)
