Blackboard, the online educational software portal company, today announced a partnership with Sprint to offer the new Blackboard Mobile Learn service for free to Sprint users. In the same way that students could log into their Blackboard account from their home PC, now students can also log into Blackboard from their mobile devices, accessing homework assignments, grades and discussion boards, in addition to opening a direct mobile line to instructors and classmates via e-mail. The new Blackboard Mobile Learn package is available free to higher institutions and professional education programs that already use Blackboard Learn Releases 8, 9 and higher, provided their students are using Sprint wireless devices, or a few select Wi-Fi-enabled devices like the Apple iPod Touch. Institutions that would like to offer the Blackboard Mobile Learn software to devices on other cellular networks will have to pay a licensing fee for the new service. Details on availability for the K-12 market will follow. The Blackboard Mobile Learn software will be available on select Sprint devices as well as other smartphones and Wi-Fi enabled devices in June.

Blackboard...

Is an evil technology.. It was down more than it was up, and had the tendency to wipe out those drop boxes that everyone submitted homework to.
