Upgrading to a New LMS: Have some Fun with It

Posted by Karl Kapp on August 18, 2010

Here are a couple of parody videos designed to introduce a campus to a new version of the Blackboard LMS. They borrow from the Old Spice meme which has taken the web and TV by storm.

To me, the clever idea of making an updgrade to a new version of a software an exciting venture worthy of some humor is a good thing. Most software upgrades are painful and nightmarish for all involved so I thought this was a clever approach. Check out the two short videos.

I love any Old Spice parody although this could have used a little more work. Upgrading to new version of corporate learning solutions shouldn't be a nightmare if its SCORM compliant.
