Advanced Technologies of Microsoft .NET WASHINGTON, Oct. 20
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Blackboard Inc. (NASDAQ:BBBB) announced
today that it has released the Blackboard Learning System(TM) for
the Microsoft .NET Framework. The new product provides a .NET
Framework-based e-learning solution for Blackboard's Windows-based
clients. The Blackboard Learning System is a Web-based software
platform that offers industry-leading course management, an open
architecture for customization and interoperability, and a scalable
design that allows for integration with student information systems
and authentication protocols. The Blackboard Learning System for
the Microsoft .NET Framework has been built in its entirety using
Microsoft .NET technologies in order to function as a native
component of an institution's Microsoft .NET infrastructure. The
Blackboard Learning System for the Microsoft .NET Framework
leverages the improved functionality, performance and security of
Windows Server 2003. The new .NET Framework-based release also
integrates easily with other Microsoft applications, such as
Exchange, BizTalk, SharePoint and Live Communication Server, and
incorporates the advanced reporting capabilities of SQL Server 2000
Reporting Services to allow clients to develop custom reports on
Blackboard usage within the institution or enterprise.
"Blackboard's Learning System for the Microsoft .NET Framework is a
natural fit for the growing number of academic institutions that
plan to develop computing infrastructure on .NET technologies,"
said Michael Chasen, CEO of Blackboard. "Academic institutions are
asking for solutions that are tailored to their unique needs and
supportive of a connected learning community in their environment,"
said Gail Thomas, General Manager Microsoft U.S. Public Sector
Education. "Microsoft is pleased with Blackboard's solution using
Microsoft .NET technologies which extend the advanced flexibility,
functionality, and scalability of the Blackboard Learning System."
The Blackboard Learning System for the Microsoft .NET Framework
provides clients with easier administration, greater system
stability, improved performance, and leverages improved Windows
Server 2003 features, such as integrated application server
functionality, Windows Load Balancing, Active Directory management
and a range of new security improvements. It represents an
expansion of Blackboard's offerings related to the .NET Framework,
following the release of Blackboard Building Blocks(R) for the
Microsoft .NET Framework earlier this year. About Blackboard Inc.
