Today's tie symbolizes retirement. Yesterday Eastern Kentucky University ended 26 years using the course management software Blackboard. I shepherded that system for EKU from December 1999 through my own retirement at the end of 2023. In 2020 the Blackboard company added a user-help feature named Assist, identified with a clever logo starring a spacewalking astronaut and a canine assistant (“Space Dog”). Three years later, the company retired the Space Dog logo. When Lisa Clark and others in Blackboard/Anthology Product Development learned that I was retiring from EKU they decided that I needed a Space Dog tie! EKU is now painting its future with the Canvas software.
