Blackboard tries and fails to get a clueBlackboard Scholar: http://scholar.com It would be a cold day in hell before I'd subject myself to it 
 Blackboard, the horrendous courseware behemoth, has heard about this Web 2.0 stuff and decided the right response is to clone del.icio.us -- as a closed system inside Blackboard!

I love the bit about how "limiting access to Blackboard users" is supposed to contribute to the goal of "a new way to find educationally valuable resources". If only they'd put a little effort into opening Blackboard up, for starters by supporting e-mail and RSS subscriptions so students wouldn't have to log into Bb's nasty multi-click frames interface to keep up with their classes.

Googling a bit, it looks like Blackboard Scholar permits non-users to search its collected bookmarks, but only lets registered users create bookmarks.
It's part of the Blackboard Beyond Initiative, which is at work on "e-Learning 2.0". Trying to read through the marketing murk, it sounds like the BbBI people themselves may actually have found that elusive clue; let us wish them success at revolution from within.
