Meaning and history

The history of this system begins on January 21, 1997, when Stephan Gilfuss and Dan Kane started a company called CourseInfo LLC, they decided to develop a software product that would manage online education and be scalable for broader institutional applications. At the same time, Matthew Pittinski and Michael Chasen formed, Blackboard LLC.
The two groups merged to form Blackboard Inc. which then evolved into the Blackboard Learning System, in other words, the Blackboard Learning System.

It helps to manage the virtual learning environment, create electronic educational resources, provide remote access to the educational resources of the institution, monitor the educational process, provide platforms for distance learning courses, accumulate, structure, manage access, replenish the educational base, and provide means of communication and information for participants.

Font and color
The name has a typical sans serif type with smaller gaps between medium-bold letters. Partially, due to this simplicity, Blackboard has an image of an educational organization which works with governments and helps to study people worldwide. The background stresses this image of a strict brand: it doesn’t have any gradient shades, toxic colors, et cetera. It’s either black or white.
