Earlier this week, we were notified by the
Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA) that several of our products were selected as finalists for the 2012 CODiE Awards in both Higher Education and K-12 categories.
First time nominees, like Edline and CourseSites, were recognized as well as newly updated products like Blackboard Learn and Mobile Learn. The McGraw Hill/Blackboard Building Block also made it to the next round of judging. We are especially excited that educators nominated us after viewing product demonstrations first-hand. Being a finalist in all of the below categories affirms that Blackboard is helping to improve many aspects of education.
Finalist categories include:
Blackboard Learn, Release 9.1, Service Pack 6
• Best Postsecondary Course or Learning Management System

Blackboard Mobile Learn
