Blackboard and e-Learning Systems
As stated in a recent article by Inside Higher Ed, “Between the announcement of its purchase of an iPhone application yesterday, its acquisition of Angel Learning in May, and its recently released new interface, Blackboard has made significant moves to strengthen its hold on the e-learning market. But many users aren’t happy with the basics.”
Living in the online space as a CEO and Executive Director of Operations, for the past 4 years, I have had many e-Learning vendors contact me about using their products and services. I have also been an online adjunct facilitator for the past three years. I have taught courses in Blackboard as well as Angel. My personal experience has been one that I prefer the functionality and the ease of navigation within the Blackboard system far more than that of the Angel system. I cannot speak to the functionality of WebCT, eCollege, or other delivery systems. However, having run an online program with over 37,000 students, Blackboard has more than met the faculty as well as the students needs.
