The LMSPodcast series consists of interviews with people who use learning management systems. It primarily focuses on the Blackboard learning management system, but other systems are also covered. And most of the discussion is not specific to any one learning management system. In this episode, the second short interview is with me, about my poster, Blackboard Support Outside the Box: Going Beyond Blackboard Workshops, detailing the diverse support offerings that I have developed for faculty.
