Mission
To enable educational innovations everywhere by connecting people and technology.

Vision
Our role is to improve the educational experience with Internet-enabled technology that connects students, faculty, researchers and the community in a growing network of education environments dedicated to better communication, commerce, collaboration and content.

Blackboard's large and diverse community of practice supports, enhances and extends our offerings every day, all over the world. The Internet offers great potential for education and the educational experience. While our role as the platform is important, communities of practice make the best solutions.  The value of the network is connectedness.  Each Blackboard client makes every other Blackboard client’s solution more valuable as a result of that connection.
