'Using Blackboard as a Communication Portal for Convergence Projects'

The Cinema and Entertainment Consortium is a convergence project combining over 120 students from eight classes; representing four departments and three colleges.  This group combines to create 16 short films within a single semester. 

Due to the large number of students and faculty involved, scheduling and communication can become a difficult challenge.  This potential problem is addressed through the use of a Blackboard community site, where all participants are provided easy access to schedules, contact information, communication tools, and technical support.
