Dell Higher Education Solutions: Learning Management Systems and Blackboard

Introduction

Learning management solutions have the potential to greatly enhance communications between students and faculty. Assuring that your campus can take advantage of this innovative technology requires a proven learning management software suite and a reliable backend IT infrastructure. Dell’s partnership with Blackboard, a leading provider of learning management software, provides campuses with dynamic resources to help take course management installations to the next level.

The Blackboard Learn^TM  platform helps to provide a foundation for engaging and assessing your learners inside and beyond a classroom. The Blackboard Learn platform is comprised of Internet-enabled tools and resources that help colleges and universities of all sizes improve student engagement and, in turn, maximize the teaching and learning experience. Dell’s enterprise technology solutions, including PowerEdge^TM  servers and EqualLogic^TM  storage, create the ideal technology foundation to support Blackboard Learn installations. Designed to be cost-effective and to easily scale, the Dell|Blackboard reference architecture helps minimize IT complexity and maximize the overall learning experience.

Dell, Blackboard, and Quest Software recently embarked on a project to optimize Blackboard Academic Suite software for Windows and SQL Server. The joint efforts have resulted in significantly greater scalability as well as simplified management, enabling customers to run large campus implementations on a cost-effective infrastructure.
