SAN FRANCISCO, CA and CARPINTERIA, CA -- (Marketwired) -- Sep 30, 2014 -- Online learning leader, lynda.com, announced today a new integration for Blackboard Learn™, the market-leading learning environment from Blackboard Inc. The integration will help give students and faculty easier access to the lynda.com collection of business, software and creative skills library of instructional videos. With this partnership, lynda.com joins the Blackboard Partnerships™ program as a Blackboard Signature Partner™ creating a building block for mutual customers to experience full integration between Blackboard Learn, and lyndaCampus and lyndaEnteprise. The integration will be showcased at the lynda.com booth (#837) at the EDUCAUSE Annual Conference in Orlando, Florida on Sept. 29 to Oct. 2.

The partnership is especially impactful for educators -- particularly those in higher education -- who are already using Blackboard's teaching and learning environment and lynda.com to enhance and extend classroom learning because it:

  • Enables instructors to easily find and load instructional videos from the lynda.com collection of more than 3,000 courses into their Blackboard Learn course page.
  • Seamlessly incorporates lynda.com content into Blackboard Learn.
  • Allows users to search and discover lynda.com courses through Blackboard Learn and track students' progress in the Grade Center.
  • Provides easy access for students via lynda.com single sign-on options and direct link capabilities.

"This partnership provides a new opportunity for blended and flipped classroom learning as instructors can now provide their students with access to lynda.com's award-winning instructional videos on the same page as other homework, project descriptions or classroom assignments," said lynda.com CEO Eric Robison. "It's truly a powerful tool."

"As a former university teacher myself, I was always looking for new ways to engage my students and to give them the tools and materials they needed to excel," said lynda.com Executive Chair and Co-founder Lynda Weinman. "With this exciting new integration of lynda.com's library of instructional videos into the market's leading teaching and learning environment, implementation has become seamless and easy."
