asknet Solutions AG and Blackboard promote digital learning environments in the DACH region Join the webinar with Annabell Busch of Blackboard and Petter Nyman of asknet on June 10, 2021, at 9:30am CEST June 7, 2021, Karlsruhe - asknet Solutions AG and the leading EdTech company Blackboard Inc. have launched a series of proactive sales and marketing campaigns as part of their sales partnership. The clear aim is to increase the footprint of Blackboard and its leading products in the German-speaking region. Since November 2020, asknet is the strategic partner for reselling Blackboard's leading software and services in the German-speaking DACH region (Germany, Austria and Switzerland). In the coming weeks and months, both partners will host or sponsor a series of events, starting with a webinar on June 10, 2021. The partnership started at a turning point for academic institutions, as fundamental change in the way learning is organized today is needed to meet the challenges ahead. Ultimately, the Corona pandemic ruthlessly exposed the digital deficits in the education sector. Many existing student portals in German-speaking countries have revealed themselves to be technically outdated and unsuitable for digital education. After all, the requirements for learning nowadays go far beyond the digital extension of physical courses to static digital platforms. Without a state-of-the-art learning environment that makes full use of the vast possibilities of today's digital world and provides usability and structure based on a full learning ecosystem, frustration and failure is the result. Consequently, the number of students dropping out of their student programs is rising sharply. According to a study by DZHW (Deutsches Zentrum für Hochschul- und Wissenschaftsforschung GmbH) almost 32% of students currently leave their bachelor's degree program before completing it. This contrasts with a society and economy that lacks qualified specialists.
To reduce dropout rates, make learning more efficient, and bring more structure and fun to everyday learning, Blackboard is offering a comprehensive digital learning environment that is fully cloud-based and easily scalable, unlike self-hosted open source solutions as well as most competing solutions. The product ecosystem is built on microservices and a data platform along with a modern interface for a true digital learning experience. Blackboard Learn, with its modern, intuitive and fully responsive user interface, as well as its advanced integration framework and programming interface, provides a simpler, more powerful and therefore more future-proof teaching and learning experience than traditional learning management systems (LMS).
