This article looks at the Blackboard Open LMS (BOLMS) (formerly Moodlerooms) roadmap which was released in June. There are "no exciting new features, only a diligent couple of ideas," writes Cristian Duque. The 'secret' for BOLMS, says Duque, is that "the online community that surrounds Blackboard is a wealthy and effective environment of collegial help and support that barely gets any recognition." On the other hand, Blackboard has tended to drop good ideas as quickly as it acquires them. "A pattern of good ideas that somehow stops mid-sentence starts to emerge," says Duque. Still, there's a rich range of services available in BOLMS, and this article is a good summary of them.
