Barry, Great Bio. Thanks for your contributions in educational technology. I definitely appreciate your comments about the Blackboard v. Desire2Learn patent lawsuit. I think Bb is backing themselves into a corner (of bad public relations in the education field). How poorly they perceive how the academic community views monopolistic bullies.

Barry, I am so glad to have met you. The information you write about has been so inspirational in my own learning about Educational technology and E-Learning. It is because of you and others like you, that I have been so interested in online learning. I work with many instructors helping them get their courses up and running online, and I have taken many examples of online excellence from you. Keep up the great work and I look forward to reading more.
Yours in Technology,
