Blackboard Simplifies Smartphone App Licensing

Learning management system provider Blackboard has simplified how it licenses its smartphone app Mobile Learn. Colleges and universities can license the app for use across the institution, or they can leave it up to individual instructors and students, for whom the price for the app is $1.99. Previously, the app cost $1.99 a year, or $5.99 for life. The change appears to be a result of the company's announcement this July that it would bundle its products together in different solutions.
