ANGEL Learning acquired by BlackBoard

ANGEL Learning and Blackboard^® have decided to join forces. Why put these two organizations together? This combination was about getting better. At Blackboard, we’re always trying to improve, both by focusing internally within our company and by looking externally to other organizations we admire, like ANGEL. We admire them not just for their story of entrepreneurial growth and impact on teaching and learning, but also for two very specific strengths:

Customer Support Culture – ANGEL’s customer focus has translated into consistently excellent experiences for ANGEL clients. We can learn from their skill in this area to keep improving the client support capability we’re building here at Blackboard.

Record of Innovation – Especially in the areas of user experience, teaching and learning tools and course-based assessment, ANGEL’s solutions have helped shape eLearning. Now we have the opportunity to join these strengths together with our Project NG vision for a more flexible and engaging learning platform.

Looking ahead, we know tangible results will determine the ultimate value of this news. So we’ll continue to be very focused on improving the experience for of all our clients – drawing on what we’ve learned from previous integrations and minimizing distractions – while weaving the best of ANGEL and Blackboard together into the value you get from working with us every day.
