Where great teaching finds its platform.

Visit Blackboard

Blackboard is an education technology company founded in 1997. Its core product is Blackboard LMS, an AI-powered learning management system rebuilt around the learner rather than the course. The company also offers connected products for accessibility, course evaluation, analytics, and institutional effectiveness. Blackboard operates as a standalone company as of 2026, following a 2021 merger with Anthology.
