Blackboard purchases Angel Learning

Throughout my time in college, there has been a battle between my school’s online program and the program that professors use to publish grades and assignments for their regular lecture classes.

Well, it seems like perhaps that “battle” may be over, and Blackboard came out on top.

In my opinion, Angel Learning and Blackboard perform the same function. You can submit assignments, communicate with classmates, and get your grades on both. Now, since Blackboard has bought Angel Learning for $95 million in cash and stock, it can become a single entity that performs the tasks well.

Somewhere in the neighborhood of 5,800 schools use one of these programs.

This is just for a little fun with the topic at hand and as a dedication to my very own finals week:
