“The traditional resume is on its way out and online tools that work for mid-career professionals don’t effectively show a college student’s skills and accomplishments or truly distinguish their talents,” said Jay Bhatt, CEO of Blackboard, in a prepared statement. “It just makes sense to leverage the environment students are in every day to house their educational information, to also showcase their skills and connect them to job opportunities.” The company has also announced a redesign of Portfolios. “While the Enhanced Cloud Profile allows for a high-level view of the educational identity of a student, Portfolios allows for a more in-depth look at specific project work and course assignments. Together, the features enhance the ability for students to illustrate their competencies and achievements through Blackboard Learn.”
