CourseSites™ by Blackboard, the company’s free, fully hosted and
supported online course system has been updated to include a range
of new features and support for five additional languages,
Blackboard Inc. (Nasdaq: BBBB) announced today. Already used in
more than 100 countries, CourseSites can now be accessed in
Spanish, Dutch, French, German, and Brazilian Portuguese.
Launched earlier this year, the CourseSites user community now
includes more than 16,000 K-12 and higher education instructors
representing over 9,000 institutions and school districts. The
expanded language support enables instructors and students around
the globe to access the high quality, cloud-based online course
option in their native language.
CourseSites has been updated to include functionality from the
latest releases of Blackboard Learn™ for course management and
Blackboard Collaborate™ for live virtual classroom, Web
conferencing and instant messaging.
With the new capabilities and language support, CourseSites
offers users of all types the ability to experience Blackboard’s
newest teaching and learning technologies in an integrated, free
solution. CourseSites has proved popular with instructors who do
not have access to a learning management system at their
institution and are looking to experiment with online courses. It
has also been utilized by instructors and administrators who want
to preview Blackboard’s latest solutions before their institution
makes a purchasing or upgrade decision.
“CourseSites is an e-learning game changer. It provides an
opportunity for teachers and educators around the world to use and
experience Blackboard’s most powerful technology at no cost and in
their own language,” said Juan Antonio Ortiz, an e-learning
consultant in Madrid, Spain. “The ability to create a distinctive
classroom and experiment with online course options without access
to an institutionalized learning platform was an ideal solution for
me as I looked to connect with students in a meaningful way.”
CourseSites contains a range of innovative features including
social learning and sharing tools, dedicated homepages and URLs,
templates to guide course development, themes to allow instructors
to customize the look and feel of courses and the ability to login
using credentials from popular Web sites like Facebook and
Twitter.
