Featured Innovation Story
“Due to my own classroom experience, I see Blackboard technology making the kind of positive difference in teaching and learning that I can clearly and specifically identify, and that I can explain in persuasive ways to our faculty.”
Wayne Hall
Vice Provost for Faculty Development, University of Cincinnati
“By giving students personalized information on every aspect of their university experience in one online centralized location, we’re giving them a richer overall experience, which in turn has a positive impact on student loyalty to the institution over time.”
Eric Dearholt
Instructional Technology Specialist, Tulane University
“UMBC’s instructional technology strategy will be driven by the goals we have for teaching and learning generally and we see Blackboard technology as the foundation for those goals.”
John Fritz

“We considered several alternatives and decided the Blackboard platform suited us best. Both students and faculty felt Blackboard products were easy to use and delivered the kind of flexibility and functionality that they’ve come to expect. Our decision to use Blackboard Managed HostingSM from the very beginning was due to the fact that it offered a level of stability that we couldn’t provide on our own.”
Sharon Davis
Director,Distance Education & Educational Technology, Central Texas College
“Blackboard Managed Hosting has supported our rapid institutional growth, allowing us to focus on new blended learning programs with cutting edge student engagement and institutional assessment models.”

“I expect higher education to experience rapid change in the next 10 years. City University has the necessary framework in place through the ‘engage, assess, and manage’ model, to embrace this change. In addition we must be prepared to continue to commit to the best IT infrastructure and support for our students to ensure they have the best chance possible for success.”
Dr. Jerry Yu
CIO at City University
By using Blackboard’s solutions, Coatbridge College has succeeded in its objective to develop an effective virtual learning environment and continue to deliver quality education, successfully engaging with its students, and placing students at the centre of all College activity.
“Stork Talk provides a good learning environment because students are put in a situation whereby they have no alternative but to learn. I think the use of Blackboard’s discussion board proved to be a creative way to encourage students to engage with and critically evaluate some potentially boring data.”
