Blackboard Inc. (NASDAQ: BBBB), a leading provider of enterprise technology to the education industry and Thinkronize, Inc., developer of netTrekker d.i., a leading educational search engine, announced a new partnership today at the FETC 2007 conference. Through this partnership, K-12 teachers, students, and parents can directly search and access more than 180,000 educator-selected, standards-aligned resources from netTrekker d.i., directly within their Blackboard® learning management platform. This integration is possible through a new beta version of the netTrekker Blackboard Building Block. Blackboard Building Blocks are third party applications which enable schools and districts to extend and customize their Blackboard platform.
The netTrekker Blackboard Building Block beta is also being made available for the Blackboard K-12 Starter Edition™. Introduced six months ago, the hosted Blackboard K-12 Starter Edition features a variety of resources for K-12 districts in the early stages of establishing an e-Learning strategy. The netTrekker Blackboard Building Block beta is available to customers who have licensed both netTrekker d.i. and Blackboard technology.
