| UNI eLearning Product Roadmap |
| |
| Background |
| The current version of our learning management system (LMS), Blackboard Learning System CE8 Enterprise, is being redesigned by Blackboard, Inc. and will require migration to a new system in the next 2-3 years. Blackboard has announced terminating support for our current product in January 2013. If we continue to use Blackboard and implement their next generation LMS (Blackboard Learn 9), we would plan to make a full transition to the new version in Fall 2011. |
