MEXICO CITY, Feb. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Blackboard Inc. (NASDAQ:BBBB)
announced today the launch of Blackboard Mobile(TM) in Mexico and
Latin America, bringing students the ability to access a rich set
of campus services and content when they want, where they want,
with their smartphone or Web-enabled cell phone. The Blackboard
Mobile platform allows schools, colleges and universities to
provide a mobile application for students and the whole educational
community to access course catalogs and campus maps, e-mail
professors and classmates, and receive real time updates on course
schedules, campus events, news and sports directly on their mobile
devices. The Blackboard Mobile platform enriches the educational
experience and supports the new lifestyle of students by allowing
them to have access to a full range of school services in their
pocket. Blackboard Mobile's flagship application, Mobile
Central(TM), is now available in Spanish with optimized
applications for the Apple® iPod Touch®, iPhone® and BlackBerry®
devices although it is also available to users of any Web-enabled
cell phone. "Institutions are looking for new ways to engage and
support their communities, and we're building a mobile platform
that helps them do that," said Michael Chasen, President and CEO of
Blackboard. "Increasingly, we hope to help institutions change
expectations by enabling mobile services and interactions that
represent the full range of the education and campus experience."
Blackboard's mobile technology is already in use at a growing
number of leading colleges and universities in the U.S., and is
available in English or Spanish in Mexico and throughout Latin
America. Blackboard Mobile is branded for each institution and
accessed by users who download their institution's free
application. With Mobile Central, users have access to course
catalogs, directories and maps, they can identify exact campus
locations with GPS and they can check campus news, schedules, and
real-time scores for athletic teams. In addition, open APIs for
