Access Blackboard from Facebook????

[Melanie Bentley]

Hey everyone....can you believe that there is actually a Facebook application that allows you to access your blackboard account from inside facebook?

Here is the blurb:

Blackboard Learn
By Blackboard, Inc.
The Blackboard Learn application delivers course and organization updates from Blackboard to you inside Facebook. You can receive these updates while also connecting with classmates without having to leave Facebook. ''

I'm spending too much time of Facebook!!!

Gene Kleppinger has played with this quite a bit in case anyone is interested. I had a blind student who was an avid facebook user, so we tried hooking up Bb sync to her facebook account. It worked okay, but the information didn't link back into Bb, so it didn't work for her as well as I thought it might. It only displays updated info. Perfect if you just want to do a quick check on what might be sitting in Blackboard.
