My school uses WebCT rather than Blackboard.
Is there any current Mobilize solution? Or future?

I am first year student attending a medical school that uses webct. Since I got my toshiba m205, four other students have gotten the same computer, and others are trying to get them over our Christmas break (loans or gifts). When we return, I wouldn't be surprised to see about 15 (in a class of 200) of them, total. My point is that they are catching on fast here, very fast. We all share resources, and today is my first day using Gobinder, so I will be spreading the word. If you guys get webct support, I could guarantee you that atleast 1/2 of our class would atleast try your product. Med schools are making a big push to be on the technological cutting edge right now, and all of them that I know of distribute scribes (notes) and power point presentations in software form, plus most medical school students are nerds to some degree and would treasure this kind of program with webct support. Bottom line is that there is a huge market for this if you incorporate WebCT. Many people in my class would not try your product because they enjoy the old fashioned pen and paper. The way to make them switch to Gobinder would be to incorporate WebCT which they already have to use, then the attraction of the all-one-package of gobinder will be substantiated for them.
How about Desire2Learn? That's what my school is moving to (from Blackboard).
The best thing you can do to hurry this along is to request GoBinder support by emailing, phoning, asking every Help desk employee, web master, network administrator, and Learning Management System administrator.
This is the grass-roots effort while we have sales reps hitting up each school and conference from the top down.
Thanks!
My Uni just changed from WebCT to Blackboard. I don't know if any of my courses will be using it though.
It is a shame you need this Mobilizer. Would be much better, if you could just have an extension to GoBinder for each major course management package. I'd be willing to spend an extra $10 - 15 for this extension. If you got four times as many schools through this approach as through the Mobilizer (seems very possible) you would only need 250 students per school to get as much money as with the Mobilizer and a lot more students would buy GoBinder.
I agree. However this is a technical issue with Blackboard that requires a Building Block on the server. Other learning systems may not have this requirement and we may ship adaptors for free or a small charge.
We understand this is an important feature for many of you.
