Blackboard Integrates with Macromedia Contribute 3
Blackboard Inc. announced that the Blackboard Content System(TM) is fully integrated with the Macromedia Contribute 3 content development tool, which allows users to easily create, edit and publish high-quality content for the Web. The Blackboard Content System is a key product in the Blackboard Academic Suite(TM), a comprehensive family of integrated applications for teaching, learning, community-building and knowledge-sharing.
Macromedia and Blackboard partnered to develop a WebDAV implementation in Contribute 3 that enables instructors to use Contribute 3 to publish Web content from an instructor's desktop directly to the Blackboard Content System. Simplified connections between Macromedia Contribute 3 and the Blackboard Content System provide users with better productivity and increased content-sharing capability.
To allow users to familiarize themselves with the new Web publishing capabilities the companies have partnered to provide a copy of Contribute 3 to every Blackboard Content System and Blackboard Learning System(TM) enterprise level client.
"The integration of Macromedia Contribute 3 with the Blackboard Content System is an important step toward enriching the variety of Web content available to users of e-Learning solutions," said Michael Chasen, CEO of Blackboard. "The combined power of these two products gives Blackboard clients the ability to develop, publish and promote a deeper range of sophisticated content on the Blackboard platform."
"The Blackboard Content System has proven itself to be a highly effective and efficient content management platform that satisfies a wide variety of e- learning needs in higher education," said Penny Wilson, senior vice president of industry solutions, Macromedia. "We are confident that Blackboard users will want to take advantage of the increased Web publishing power provided by the integration of Contribute 3 with the Blackboard platform."
The Blackboard Learning System and the Blackboard Content System, along with the Blackboard Community System(TM), are the three leading e-Learning software solutions contained in the Blackboard Academic Suite, a comprehensive online learning platform that supports multiple approaches to teaching, learning, research and collaboration. 22.10.2004, Blackboard Inc.
