With a planned upgrade to version 9 in the Summer of 2010, the UR community can expect many new features and an enhanced look and feel for their flagship course management system. Some of the principle additions are; a new course homepage, easier access to course tools and rapid reorganization of the menus without using the “control panel”, new options for self and peer-assessment, and simplified creation and management of groups within a course. Here is a sneak peak: http://www.blackboard.com/release9/
