Blackboard users,
A message about the Lore learning management system (LMS) is being sent to professors at UM. I have included a copy below. Lore is in no way associated with UM. We are still using Blackboard as our LMS. The goal of the message, I think, is to make it look like we switched to Lore. We didn't.
Begin forwarded message:
Katherine , welcome to Lore | | | |  | | | | | | Dear ________ , Lore is a new alternative to learning management systems that's now available at University of Miami. It's free and this spring professors at over 600 schools used it for their courses. Like well-known social networks, class discussions on Lore are lightweight and fun. Students have given professors feedback that it helps make courses memorable. On Lore you also have tools for grading, sharing course materials, and keeping a calendar that are incredibly easy to use. Right now Lore is only available by invitation but but we're starting to open access for the fall. If you'd like to give it a try, your invitation is here. Hope you like it — The Lore Team | | | | | | |
