We’ve just concluded an exciting experiment and I am thrilled to share our story. Rutgers MI pro gram, NJASL and the South Brunswick School District partnered this week to offer a School Library “Bus Tour.” Okay, no buses were actually involved.

All course content, assignments, grades, shared documents and study tools are delivered digitally.

Key takeaway: the clear supermajority of LMS usage is, at least for Blackboard, just document management.
