Teaching, learning and research solutions provider Cengage Learning, US, has announced a strategic partnership with Blackboard Inc. to create a deeper integration and full interoperability of Cengage Learning's digital content and solutions with the Blackboard Learn platform. Through the partnership, Cengage Learning becomes a Blackboard Strategic Partner in the Blackboard Partnerships Program.
The new partnership plans to provide direct access to Cengage Learning's digital content, core curriculum solutions and increased functionality for institutions utilising Blackboard's Web-based teaching and learning platform. Users of Cengage Learning's rich digital learning solutions and content will gain seamless access through automatic sign-on and grade book integration, creating a simpler and more intuitive user experience for both instructors and students using Blackboard Learn.
The effort plans to offer a better experience for users of online homework provided via CourseMaster products such as Aplia and SAM as well as CourseMate and course cartridges. The added level of integration is made possible through Cengage Learning's standards-based, interoperable, Web-services architecture (MindLinks) and the Blackboard Building Blocks programme and open APIs of the Blackboard Learn platform. The agreement will also include ongoing interoperability options for Cengage Learning's MindTap programme and future product development.
