As a father of three children who “learned from home” during the pandemic, I know firsthand the challenges many experienced engaging with their classes online on Zoom. This deeply personal experience inspired me, but I am not alone in my thinking: studies have confirmed that students and employees are interested in maintaining and improving working and learning-from-home lifestyles, should they be able to.

As we continue to expand Class software and its capabilities, we understand the importance of creating the best possible solutions that inspire both instructors and learners, so they can thrive in all educational settings, regardless of their physical environment, or their learning management system (LMS).

Today, I’m excited to announce that Class is teaming up with Open LMS to maximize the hybrid learning environment and help improve student engagement.

The Open LMS learning management system (based on MoodleTM) delivers cost-effective solutions that improve learner and organizational outcomes, with expertise in delivering teaching and learning tools at scale.

Open LMS has been offering Blackboard Collaborate to their customers for years. Now, with the announcement of our definitive agreement to acquire Blackboard Collaborate, both Blackboard Collaborate and Class will be offered as Open LMS’s preferred synchronous learning solution.

Together with Open LMS, we affirm our commitment to open standards and software, and the idea that learning can be successful in all educational settings, regardless of physical environment, or choice of LMS.

I am proud of partnerships like these that will shape a wave of improvements to virtual and hybrid classrooms of the future. Blended learning continues to be the wave of the future and our team is proud to be a part of the change.
