Abstract
RMIT is at the point of commencement of integrating its core Learning Management System (Blackboard) to a singular global presence. This step will transition the University from its historical base of operating two independent LMS systems, to a unified global systems presence. Additional to this, the university has integrated a suite of technologies for global deployment that enrich and personalise the online learning environment for local delivery, but within a global framework. In parallel, emphasis has been placed on transitioning assessment practice to fully online grading and the availability of professional development delivered in a fully online format. Presented here are the core aspects of the design and implementation of the integrated RMIT educational technology suite and its immediate future directions.
