Arapahoe Community College Expanding Educational Reach and Access
with Blackboard Blackboard Hosted Solution to Provide Budget
Stability, Scalability to Growing College WASHINGTON, Aug. 9
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Blackboard Inc. (NASDAQ:BBBB) has
announced that it will provide Blackboard Application Service
Provider hosting services and the Blackboard Learning System(TM) to
Arapahoe Community College (ACC) in Littleton, Colorado. The new
Blackboard(R) system will build on ACC's successful two-year
implementation of the Blackboard Learning System-Basic Edition(TM),
a limited version of the award winning Blackboard Learning System
enterprise software application. The Blackboard powered solution
will expand the school's ability to serve its quickly growing
community college program. Arapahoe, the oldest community college
in the Denver metropolitan area, serves nearly 8,000 students per
semester and provides community education courses to another 10,000
students each year. "During the last two years, Arapahoe has
enjoyed a very positive experience with Blackboard," said Lin
Claussen, Arapahoe's Director of Enrollment Management, Research,
& Education Technology. "We believe that the Blackboard
Learning System and 24 x 7 ASP services we have selected provide a
definite cost advantage to our institution. Blackboard will furnish
ACC with an enterprise-grade solution that will satisfy our
budgetary requirements-and still scale to our expanding user base,
supporting the variety of teaching styles employed at our
institution." Arapahoe Community College is one of more than 250
community colleges in the U.S. relying on the Blackboard Learning
System to better serve existing students and expand reach to serve
additional students. ACC has chosen to implement the Blackboard
Learning System in a hosted environment, providing a turn-key,
fully managed 24 x7 service for its mission critical e-Learning
application, backed by industry leading Service Level guarantees.
"Blackboard is dedicated to helping community colleges such as ACC
fulfill their commitments to local educational needs," said Matthew
Pittinsky, Chairman of Blackboard. "Blackboard ASP services will
provide Arapahoe with a stable, scalable and affordable way to
manage its Blackboard based solution- and accommodate its growing
responsibilities to the Denver community." About Blackboard Inc.
