LBCC Is Switching to Moodle

You may have heard the rumors, and now it's official: over the next 18 months we will be transitioning from Blackboard Academic Suite to Moodle as our CMS of choice.

We currently aren't quite ready to create new course shells in LBCC Moodle for Summer Term 09 enrollments, but anticipate being able to soon. Until then, we can created a development (sandbox) shell for you. You can build your course in that shell and (unlike Blackboard) change the Course ID number to that of your course whenever you want.

If you are an LBCC Instructor, and would like an LBCC Moodle development shell, email Paul Tannahill.
