Blackboard Partners With Learning Software Company

D.C.-based Blackboard Inc. is partnering with Chegg Inc., which creates software that helps college students better understand their homework, Chegg announced in a news release.

Blackboard, which creates software for course management for colleges and universities, will integrate Chegg Study, Chegg Tutors and Chegg Career into Blackboard solutions.

"Together, we are working toward a goal shared by students, institutions, faculty, Blackboard and Chegg: Better outcomes and higher graduation rates," said Jim Hermens, vice president of content partnerships at Blackboard. "By providing schools with the opportunity to integrate Chegg Study's supplemental learning services into our learning environment, students will be in a better position to master their coursework, persist in their schooling, and ultimately be able to graduate at higher rates than they do today.''

Chegg is based in Santa Clara, California.
