/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Blackboard Inc. (NASDAQ:BBBB) announced
today that the Blackboard Content System(TM) is fully integrated

Blackboard Content System provide users with better productivity
and increased content-sharing capability. To allow users to
familiarize themselves with the new Web publishing capabilities the
companies have partnered to provide a copy of Contribute 3 to every
Blackboard Content System and Blackboard Learning System(TM)
enterprise level client. "The integration of Macromedia Contribute
3 with the Blackboard Content System is an important step toward
enriching the variety of Web content available to users of
e-Learning solutions," said Michael Chasen, CEO of Blackboard. "The
combined power of these two products gives Blackboard clients the
ability to develop, publish and promote a deeper range of
sophisticated content on the Blackboard platform." "The Blackboard
Content System has proven itself to be a highly effective and
efficient content management platform that satisfies a wide variety
of e- learning needs in higher education," said Penny Wilson,
senior vice president of industry solutions, Macromedia. "We are
