Class Technologies, the learning platform founded during the pandemic to capitalize on the widespread educational use of Zoom, announced Thursday that it would buy a complementary piece of technology from Blackboard, the company its co-founder once led.
Class, which has added a set of instructional functionality to the Zoom base, agreed to purchase Blackboard Collaborate, a videoconferencing software now owned by Anthology, which bought Blackboard last year.
The deal is worth a reported $210 million.
