Online Learning Update

Blackboard has announced the New Learning Experience at its annual user conference in Washington, D.C., and the new platform, focused on student user experience, unites all of its disparate tools and services in a single place. The platform is being billed as a simplification of Blackboard’s existing products, able to follow students from K-12 through higher ed and perhaps even through their post-graduate job searches. With its announcement, the company made its first market offering aligned with the New Learning Experience, including integrated releases of Blackboard Learn, Blackboard Collaborate, and the Bb Student App.
