I received an email (as did all WebCT administrators and support personnel) from Michael Chasen, the CEO of Blackboard.
It now appears that WebCT has a much shorter lifespan than one might have originally thought -- at least as a name.
In the next release, you will see new names for the WebCT products. As part of our commitment to fostering a greater shared community of practice, Campus Edition and Vista will become part of the Blackboard Academic Suite line-up. The new product names will be:
The Blackboard Learning SystemTM - Vista Enterprise License
The Blackboard Learning SystemTM - CE Enterprise Ltd License (formerly the Institution License)
The Blackboard Learning SystemTM - CE Basic License (formerly the Focus License)
They show that these name changes will come effective with future Application Pack upgrades...this would mean we will be running Blackboard Campus Edition 6 or BbCE6.
...stay tuned...
Interesting. Makes sense. The BbCE6 might be an interesting chord progression. Maybe I might see if I can work out a riff and sell it back to them for the cost of the annual license fee :-)
