Blog with many posts featuring Blackboard. He's one of their MVPs.

Useful summary of the types of tools they have, looking first at staff need, then at the tool? Could be a useful way for us to present our information?

Discussion - highlighting some of the issues.

Aimed at children, and fairly slow, but could be useufl as an example.

See the various case studies. - they're using WP, though not CampusPress.

Useful set of articles - covering various aspects of AI. It's a Blackboard magazine, so slight focus on US, but, not much on BB itself.

Some good points - including looking at issues arising, and how to get students to fully participate. Useful example of the use of Collaborate Ultra.

See also the linked page for the book & its website. While this is a bit of a promo for the book, it's got some useful points, and the book/website look as if they could be useful for some. One point they make "it's not for everyone"

A little dated now, but an example of a bibliography (extensive) with annotations - and a (long!) summary of all of the papers. Way above what the coursework requires, but should show you how something like this is useful.

A review of papers on e-learning in the workplace 2000 - 2012. While this isn't quite an example of an annotated bibliography, it's got some useful material in that it covers a range of different papers, and demonstrates how they have extracted key information that all have in common. Use it as an example of the use of reviewing many papers, and the strategies they used to analyse the papers, which you might want to think about a simplified version of their approach yourself for your group work.

"This blog post is a quick summary of five of the academic papers that have most influenced me in my development as a teacher, and I would heartily recommend all five to other teachers. I do not always agree with every single thing written in these papers (although I generally do agree with the overall..." [Summary from site, not my interpretation]. Useful papers, and an example of summaries of others' work, thus useful for the group work.

Includes blog, and some (limited) resources for the books.
