I’ve had a great idea to add CMS HTML page content embedded in a blackboard page. Use iFrames.
Rather than link to the HTML page via link, embed the HTML element.
Why?
- This maintains the Bb navigation
- It could look like normal inline text that has the full advantages of Bb CMS control especially shareability and version control
- Why not use it for embedded Flash that needs a detect script on the HTML page
- Why not use it for elements that may change
Consider the development of an iFrame building block that sources elements from the Bb CMS???

There are many collaboration tools available with varying costs and usability.
I have come across two free tools that maybe useful.
- LetsPowwow is a Java based collaboration tool which is free for up to ten users. It seems to work reasonably well for shared desktop and has a simple chat facility but a low quality audio function. I would like to test this concurrently running Skype. Presenters need to register and initial installation of the Java components seem to be lengthy. Once installed the process appears more efficient to use.
- Unyte is a free one to one shared desktop facility which is integrated with Skype. First experiences indicate the process for connection to invited users is simple but initial tests appears a bit flaky. ie. slow/poor desktop sharing. More testing needs to be done with the integrated client between two Skype users.

I have been playing around with posting a blog post from this Firefox plugin from http://performancing.com/.
It looks to be really useful if you wish to make your posts to multiple blogs from a common environment.

Creating web galleries of images can be difficult for those with little experience or time.
Using JAlbum makes it easy to create these websites (thanks Michelle for finding this).
- Simple to use
- Available for Mac aand PC
- Many styles/templates to use
- free
Once created, your site can be added to Blackboard by
- Adding to Bb as a zip package
- Adding to the Bb CMS as a website (make sure the folder containing the whole site has the permissions set, not just the index page)
