Blackboard also says it. To that end, Blackboard has launched a new business called Blackboard Education Open Source Services – a good thing, right? In support of this broader vision , Blackboard announced on Monday that it had acquired two companies – the first, Moodlerooms and the second, NetSpot. So, a competitor in the LMS space made up of customers that likely were trying to avoid Blackboard in the first place. Enterprise users of Blackboard might look forward to more options. | GEORGE SIEMENS JULY 8, 2010 Well Played, Blackboard While Blackboard is unable to write a press release that includes clear statements like “we have purchased these companies&# , I have to give the company credit for the acquisition of Elluminate (and Wimba). With increased competition and general maturity of the market, Blackboard made what is likely its most important acquisition to date. The learning management system market has become somewhat of a commodity – Blackboard has attempted to hold high market share through acquisitions (notably WebCT and Angel). In the mean time, well played, Blackboard! | | | | | |
| ONLIGNMENT JULY 16, 2010 Blackboard lit up by Elluminate Last week, Blackboard, the largest commercial provider of learning management systems to the education sector, purchased not one but two web conferencing providers that also have a strong educational heritage – Elluminate and Wimba. It failed, I’m glad to say, and it will take Blackboard years of being terribly nice to repair its stinking reputation. don’t know Wimba, but I have an affinity for Elluminate, which the eLearning Network and ALT uses to run its joint public webinars. Whether Blackboard provides it with much protection is dubious. | GEORGE SIEMENS APRIL 6, 2012 Blackboard’s identity crisis, Desire2Learn’s optimism, and Instructure’s coolness Since Blackboard announced its acquisition of several Moodle partners, numerous voices have chimed in to explore what it means to education. common response to the longterm impact of these acquisitions has been to link Blackboard’s manoeuvre with the IBM’s transformation into a services company. This comparison is particularly silly because IBM was heavily invested in a hardware field that was being commoditized, whereas Blackboard is a software company (i.e. Blackboard has a history of not knowing what it is. Microsoft). higher education market). | ELLEN WAGNER JULY 13, 2010 Elluminate, Wimba and Adobe Connect, Oh, My I heard from a few of my education friends after posting yesterday's report from Blackboard World. To be honest, several asked point blank what I was thinking to take a positive stand on this particular acquisition development in higher education. | ELLEN WAGNER JULY 12, 2010 Blackboard Takes eLearning to the Education Enterprise This morning's blogpost is coming to you from the fountain-filled lobby of the Gaylord Palms Hotel, the site of this year's BlackBoard World, Developers' Conference and Institute. Last week's news about BlackBoard's intention to acquire web conferencing companies Elluminate and. | | | | | | | |

GEORGE SIEMENS | TUESDAY, OCTOBER 4, 2011 Why do synchronous web tools suck?
In the past, I was involved with Elluminate as a community partner. With Blackboard’s purchase of Elluminate, that arrangement was cancelled. Elluminate was/is what an online platform needs to be: simple, easy to use, with good quality audio. Elluminate was simple, clunky, intuitive, and remains the best synchronous tool I’ve used. We are several weeks into the Change open online course. We have an outstanding speaker list. But, unfortunately, we’ve had issues every week with our live online sessions. All have been terrible failures. MORE >> - Another Stake in Ground for Blackboard: Two New Investments in the Open-source E-learning Market

IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CURVE | THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 2012 Live Streaming Test Results
Blackboard Collaborate 12 - We have been using Elluminate v10 and decided to test the most recent version of Blackboard Collaborate. wouldn't wish video conferencing in Elluminate v10 on my enemies. The other thing we like about Blackboard Collaborate is that we can more easily limit who can access the live meeting and the resulting recording. The Blackboard Collaborate 12 UI is very different from Elluminate v10 and requires some getting used to. Because I know someone will ask. The user needs to know how to expand the screen. pain to set up. MORE >> -
GEORGE SIEMENS | WEDNESDAY, JULY 7, 2010 How not to do a press release
I just received an email saying that Blackboard, Wimba, and Elluminate were forming some type of union. The message is practically useless – did BB buy Elluminate? From the press release, it really looks like Elluminate has been purchased (I’m less interested in what it looks like for Wimba – I haven’t used their products for years Did they just decide to work on integration? If you’re going to announce something, speak in the language of your readers not your company. don’t care if you want to be friends as a company. MORE >>
