Blackboard has always been about one thing: helping educators do what they do best.
Since 1997, that has meant building the infrastructure that makes teaching and learning possible, online and in person, at scale. It has meant showing up for millions of students and tens of thousands of faculty and administrators across nearly 75 countries. It has meant adapting, alongside the institutions we serve, through every shift in how education happens, from the rise of online learning, to the shift to mobile, to the explosion of digital content, to where we are now with artificial intelligence.
Today, we are sharing what that evolution looks like next. Learn more about our evolution at the link in the comments below. #BbT26 #TeachingAndLearning #TeamBlackboard

Could we have been asking the wrong question? Instead of asking, “Did the student write this?” should we be asking, “What did the student learn?”
Blackboard's Lisa Clark and Joe Thibault explore how rethinking assessment and making the learning process visible can help educators better understand what students actually know. Get in the know at the link below.
