Description

Buckinghamshire New University ("University") has been using the Blackboard Virtual Leaning Environment ("VLE") since 2012, with the technology now profoundly integrated across the University's students and staff teaching and learning activities. This renewal will ensure continuity of services, access to support and updates, and the ability to scale and optimise usage based on future requirements. Given the University's long-standing investment in and integration with Blackboard VLE, renewing the Blackboard subscription is crucial to maintaining operational efficiency and supporting ongoing digital transformation initiatives.
