Blackboard Adds Partnerships With Publishers

Blackboard, which last year announced a partnership to ease the use of McGraw-Hill content in courses using Blackboard's learning management system, is expanding the idea to other major publishers and their services. The company Wednesday announced partnerships with Pearson (for its MyLab and Mastering programs, which together are projected to have 9 million student registrations this year), as well as with Wiley, Macmillan and Cengage for various content offerings.
