February 2010 SLATE Meeting

This is a reminder that our next monthly SLATE meeting will be on Wednesday, February 10th beginning @ 10:00am and hosted by the CIty Colleges of Chicago So that CCC can prepare for our visit, it is very important that you RSVP back to Ken Sadowski by Friday, February 5th with the names of those who will be attending from your institution. Information regarding building/room location is at the end of this message.

Agenda

On the heels of the December SLATE meeting, we have organized a session that will help to address some of the issues that surfaced at that meeting regarding Release 9. The objective is to give clients information that will help them understand what’s involved in moving to R9, the resources available to assist with this upgrade (the Upgrade Center, Quick Tutorials, the NG Playground, etc.), and what to expect going forward. This is also designed as a forum to give feedback (ie. what the SLATE Community would like to see in future releases) directly to Blackboard product management who will be onsite for this discussion (Brad Koch - Director Product Management & Kelly Hamilton - Senior Manager Product Marketing).

PLEASE NOTE – SLATE Meetings to be streamed live online!
