Blackboard and Microsoft Team To Put Course Info on Bing - Dian Schaffhauser, THE Journal
Blackboard and Microsoft have joined forces to offer students access to information from their online courses on Web browsers. Under the agreement the two companies will work together to program a Blackboard Learn toolbar for the Bing search engine, as well as the Internet Explorer and Firefox browsers. The goal is to streamline access to course information and to help students keep up with course updates while surfing the Web, not just when logged into their Blackboard accounts. Users will receive updates on their courses, groups, and organizations directly in the browser, regardless of which Web site they're visiting and without having to log into Blackboard every time.
