The growth is attributed in part to significant investment in the product since it became part of Anthology\u2019s portfolio in 2021. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This investment has driven the availability of more than 200 new features since the merger accelerated development. That feature development is powered by an unprecedented level of client input. Recent competitive wins across the globe and a 55 percent increase year-over-year in the use of courses that unlock the benefits of Blackboard Learn Ultra further demonstrates growing global interest in the new Blackboard Learn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cInstitutions are seeking personalized, data-informed experiences for their students. As they evaluate whether they have the right tools in place, they are increasingly selecting the new Blackboard Learn to drive the future of learning on their campuses,\u201d said Jim Milton, Chairman and CEO of Anthology. \u201cWith Blackboard Learn, we\u2019re providing institutions with a market-leading LMS, where client and user feedback shapes future roadmap. We\u2019re focused on delivering the best experience in the industry and these wins and the momentum they represent reflect that commitment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In April, Anthology will have developed and deployed more than 200 significant features for Blackboard Learn including self-expression tools, an adaptable test-taking experience designed to reduce student anxiety, superior progress tracking tools, and embedded insights. Accelerated feature development is occurring hand-in-hand with an industry-leading level of client and user input. More than 60 focus groups are providing user and instructor-level feedback and 80 percent of the top client and user-identified features are in active development. That user guidance is directing feature development like deeper student progress tracking and a more holistic overview of each student. Enhancements enable instructors to monitor student progress, manage outreach to students who haven\u2019t started an activity and provide a comprehensive view of where a student stands, including their overall grade, when they last accessed the course, accommodations, and feedback. Together, they\u2019re empowering instructors to have more personalized interactions with their learners to help guide them on their unique journey. In addition to the investments in product features, Anthology has invested significantly in the tools and resources to help clients implement the solution and transition to Blackboard Learn Ultra courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019ve redefined the Blackboard Learn Ultra adoption journey with free, easy-to-use resources and tools as well as a dedicated adoption team available to all clients that simplify the process,\u201d said JD White, Chief Product Officer at Anthology. \u201cThe new Learn Ultra Adoption Toolkit is an end-to-end solution designed to guide campus administrators along every step of the journey to benefit from the powerful tools available in Learn Ultra as quickly and efficiently as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Blackboard Learn continues to build momentum with recent wins across the globe. Anthology\u2019s LMS is replacing Instructure Canvas at EC-Council University in New Mexico; the Culinary Institute Lenotre in Houston, Texas; and at the Amity Global Institute in Singapore. Waldorf University in Forest City, Iowa and Transnet in South Africa also recently selected Blackboard Learn following competitive reviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The wins run the gamut, from long-time clients continuing their relationship, to current institutions deepening their relationship with additional Anthology solutions, to new clients selecting Blackboard Learn to replace their existing LMS. Colleges and universities are all gaining simpler, more-powerful teaching and learning experiences to support the needs of the modern classroom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>That feature development is powered by an unprecedented level of client input.
