Enterprise technology and innovative solutions provider Blackboard Inc, US, has announced new partnerships in the Middle East and Brazil that will help support growing demand for online learning in each region. The partnerships will enable Blackboard to better support the greater use of education technology at schools and universities as well as corporations, government, military and professional organisations.
Blackboard has partnered with BME Holding S.A.L. (BME), a local company with offices in Beirut and Riyadh, to work closely with six partners to support clients throughout the Middle East. In Brazil, Blackboard has partnered with Grupo A, a distributor of education publishing content, to expand access to Blackboard solutions.
A growing number of educational institutions in the Middle East and Brazil are already using Blackboard solutions for online learning, mobile learning and Web collaboration. Through Blackboard's expanded local presence in each region, clients will benefit from more fluid relationships with the company around product, service and support.
In addition to working more closely with clients to support their use of Blackboard solutions, the partnerships will also give the company an opportunity to better understand challenges and opportunities faced by educational institutions in both regions, and to foster closer relationships with leaders in government and business working to support them.
