The collaboration has resulted in\u00a0a robust integration and provided timely and consistent availability of courses and student enrolments into Blackboard. It wouldn\u2019t have happened without the excellent teamwork from all involved.<\/p>\n<p>Our offer of a high-quality group photo to accompany this post was gently refused so we have included an image of the 9.1 \u2018concept\u2019 highlighting the integration aspect instead.
