Vision of distance learning from Desire 2 Learn and Blackboard
During the last two weeks, folks from both Blackboard and Desire 2 Learn have visited PCC to discuss their vision of distance learning in the next five years, what they see as their place in that future, and what they're doing to get there.
We also asked them to try and address the following areas which we've deemed as important for our own program.

- Product and Company Roadmap
- History and Plan for the future of the company
- Mobile Learning
- User testing and feedback (faculty AND students)
Both vendors were able to talk to each of the points and demonstrate a little of their existing product. Sadly, both sessions included non-disclosure agreements, so this is the extent to which we can share.

Well i think these days Interim Management is the temporary provision of management resources and skills. Interim management can be seen as the short-term assignment of a proven heavyweight interim executive manager to manage a period of transition, crisis or change within an organization. In this situation, a permanent role may be unnecessary or impossible to find on short notice. Additionally, there may be nobody internally who is suitable for, or available to take up, the position in question.
