Blackboard sees 32 percent growth - Kara Rowland, THE WASHINGTON TIMES
The educational software market continues to grow, and so does the bottom line of Blackboard Inc., the D.C. provider of products for schools and universities....

Comments:
As a student getting a degree online using the Blckboard platform, this saddens me. THe purpose of online degree programs is supposed to be user convenience. In using this platform I have encountered problem after problem every semester. Previously I used a Web CT platform at another University where I experienced No problems what so ever. THere goes consumer reliability!
