Blackboard’s new Scholar “social bookmarking” service lets Blackboard users save and classify bookmarks and searches; share resources with faculty, students, and administrators from other institutions; automatically update courses with dynamic content feeds; and enable student contributions to course collections.

The service is available to all users of the enterprise versions of the Blackboard Learning System, including Vista and CE licenses. Blackboard users can access the service right through BLS. It’s also open to the public at http://www.scholar.com.
