Blackboard merger may benefit users - Mark Stefanski, Princetonian

Blackboard's acquisition of competitor WebCT, announced Oct. 12, sparked a flurry of debate in the higher education information technology community, but it won't have much of an effect on Blackboard services for over a year, University and Blackboard employees said. "I would say that if there will be major changes, other than improvements and features that Blackboard already has planned, we won't see them for a year or so," said Dennis Hood, University manager of learning management systems.
