Due to some technical issues during the meeting, we weren't able to archive the session. As we are working out a few of the technical logistics and optimal hardware setup for streaming the monthly sessions, we should hopefully have the issues resolved for our future meetings. We plan to continue streaming future meetings via Wimba Classroom.

This meeting was designed as an open forum to give feedback (ie. what the SLATE Community would like to see in future releases) directly to Blackboard product manager was onsite for this discussion (Brad Koch - Director Product Management & Kelly Hamilton - Senior Manager Product Marketing).

The next SLATE meeting will be held Wednesday, March 17, 2010 at Lewis University. Watch the SLATE Listserv or SLATE Blog for upcoming meeting details.
