Blackboard Advertises an Open Source LMS
As the Blackboard patent case goes to trial in East Texas, we have here a report that the company is using Google Adwords to advertiose themselves as an open source LMS. Michael Feldstein has images as proof, but notes "Blackboard's ad no longer shows up. It looks like they may have pulled it. If so, good for them." Well, maybe, but they should never have run the ads in the first place. Michael Feldstein, e-Literate, February 4, 2008 2:51 p.m..
