Abstract
Multiple approaches can be employed to achieve the single objective of implementing the Blackboard Learning management system (LMS) in the UAE educational institution. In institutional management terms this could mean a pre-implementation plan and preparedness. In Project Management terms this could mean customized project life cycles. In institutional effectiveness terms this could mean post-implementation value and system utilization. This paper talks about the Blackboard Adoption and Adaptation approaches on these 3 levels, from the project implementer’s perspective.
