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.
