A D2L page responds to coverage of the Blackboard in the Chronicle of Higher Education - the Chronicle article is blocked behind a paywall, so most people can't read this, which appears to be Blackboard's only statement on the matter. In an unrelated item, a Blackboard employee appears to undercut faculty motivations. "The taxes of every fast food employee who may never walk on a campus are supporting students who go to schools, colleges and universities around the world... if they value not only their current academic freedom, but their ability to retire in old age, another form of freedom, they should think hard and fast about how they can contribute to the public good." This is known in psychology as 'projection'. And to put the response bluntly: what will Blackboard do for the common good? Because the ongoing legal campaign isn't it.
