According to Mike Caulfield , Blackboard used the following image to denote their technical difficulties during live streaming their Blackboard World conference. What is Blackboard trying to tell me by showing a picture of a father glued to his phone while his son looks out the bus window? Is Blackboard saying this check-in at work will be the last solace dad enjoys before countless trips on the Small World ride at Disney? Main blackboard

ClassEDU’s co-founder and CEO is Michael Chasen, who previously co-founded and served 12 years as CEO of Blackboard, which remains one of the biggest LMS providers in the education market. He called up former Blackboard colleagues, and together they started building prototypes using the software development kit that Zoom makes available to third-party developers. This year, investors have reaped big financial returns from betting on Zoom.

Blackboard shared some interesting stats about what people actually do with their LMS. It’s impressive that Blackboard is willing to confirm our observations. Key takeaway: the clear supermajority of LMS usage is, at least for Blackboard, just document management. How do instructors and learners use learning management systems? The results confirm what many LMS critics (like myself) have been saying for a while.

I’ve never been a fan of Blackboard, the monolithic learning management system that’s the standard at so many schools. Recently, however, my attitude changed (slightly) when a colleague introduced me to BB Grader, a free iPad app for Blackboard designed to make the grading process in Blackboard mobile-friendly. Once I started having students submit via Blackboard, those problem went away, but I was left with one downside: I was using Blackboard.

Blackboard is launching a new platform, called the New Learning Experience, which aims to bring together all of its various products and services under one roof, with the goal of making it seem more focused on students and learners, not administrators. The goal is to get beyond the traditional LMS, said Jay Bhatt, President and CEO of Blackboard in a video outlining the launch. Learning approach aims to bring a learner-centric focus to education.

EdSurge sat down with Pittinsky last month to talk about lessons from his time at Blackboard, as well as what has surprised him most about how learning management systems have evolved (or haven’t).

To mark the 20th anniversary of Blackboard, one of the first LMSes, the company’s co-founder, Matthew Pittinsky, wrote an epic blog post about the company’s history, which includes his advice for today’s edtech leaders. As origin stories go, the founding of Blackboard twenty years ago lacked that single light bulb moment that tech companies like to tell. At Blackboard we packaged learning management into three tiers.
