I am doing Distance Ed, and, also, am very much interested in ways to bring TBL into the approach (also having limited experience with it generally.. .only the 3rd time applying it, with an in-residence class). Also, my Distance class is a "hybrid" with both on-campus and distance learners, at the same time... which, I think, puts still another twist on bringing TBL into the class. Am also using Blackboard, and, as you point out, there is currently no way to use an IF AT type approach with that software.
Hoping, too, the U. Texas software (or other software) might at some point be available...
Good to see others are starting to also think about TBL and the Distance Learner.. looking forward to hearing more about your findings!
