Ottawa U Signs 'Game Changer' Deal To Expand Online Program -- Campus Technology

Ottawa U Signs 'Game Changer' Deal To Expand Online Program -- Campus Technology | Blackboard Tips, Tricks and Guides | Scoop.it
Ottawa University, a 7,000-student institution, has just signed a first-of-its-kind agreement to help it deliver on a major program expansion.

 

Ottawa will work with Blackboard to launch Project Virtuoso, an online initiative that will allow any student in any state to have synchronous and asynchronous interactions with faculty members and fellow students. The project is part of Ottawa's long-range strategic plan, called Vision 2020.

 

This would be a new direction for Blackboard, which is the leader in learning management systems and offers a number of other technologies for education environments, including mobile, collaboration, campus IDs, and analytics. What's new in this case is that Blackboard will also work with faculty members in helping them develop their expertise in delivering online courses.
