[BB] NBC Learn site license interest session

Blackboard list members,

In Blackboard you can easily include material from other sources such as YouTube and Flickr into your course sites. NBC News is now licensing 14,000 multimedia resources, from over 80 years of NBC News, much of it aimed specifically at Higher Education. It can be easily located, by topic, and inserted into Blackboard, for viewing by your students.

Eric Zack, from NBC Learn, will demonstrate the product Wednesday, October 17, 2012, 1:30 pm – 2:30 pm in Richter Library, Room 305, the Faculty Exploratory. Please go to http://iacinfo.org and register if you are interested in learning about this product, and helping determine whether UM should purchase a site license. 

Go to http://www.nbclearn.com/portal/site/HigherEd to see the range of topics and subtopics that are included. Then attend the session and let us know whether licensing this product might be useful for you to enhance learning in your courses.
