Today’s learners are redefining education. The “traditional student” who transitions directly from high school to the college campus is yielding way to the post-traditional learner whose educational path is less linear—perhaps balanced by work, family obligations, military duty and more. In choosing a college experience, these students are not only weighing the “what” of their educational journey but the “how” and “how much.” Institutions that are able to offer students the flexibility and simplicity learners require through technology and infrastructure find themselves higher on the consideration list.

To that end, Blackboard is launching a new resource that further simplifies the teaching and learning experience: the Blackboard StoreTMThrough the Blackboard Store, institutions can provide students with the learning resources they need when they need them. And students are presented with flexible purchase options, including the ability to apply for financial aid. This is the first in a series of innovative, learner-focused initiatives being introduced this year that can help institutions raise the bar with both student retention and success. 

Learn how this single resource makes education more personal, provides both learning and financial value, and how it creates more time for both educators and learners to engage with educational content.

Join us for this free webinar for:

  • Trends and habits of today's new learners 
  • Insight on how to create a more personalized student experience
  •  An exclusive preview into how the Blackboard Store will make it easier for students and instructors to find resources and design the educational experience they want
Seats are limited, so reserve your space today by completing the form to the right.
