ThinkSpace tim carroll Pete Boysen

Thinkspace is much more stable than last year and they are continuing to add functionality.  Looks like OAE is a dead end, since the faculty wasn't all that enamored with it.  Pete was able to make ThinkSpace an LTI provider in about 4 hours which was cool so they can now show content in Blackboard or uPortal (with the BLTI portlet).  He is working on providing grade reporting back to the LTI consumer.  Bb has that in SP10 beta.

They have funding from an education grant for the next year or two, but there is no movement on long-term funding opportunities so the future is not guaranteed.
