Desire2Learn Plans to Stay Independent
In response to the recent news that Blackboard plans to buy WebCT, a move that would combine the two largest providers of course-management software, another company in the market, Desire2Learn, issued a statement this week stressing that it has "no intention of merging or selling." It was a not-so-subtle move to play on the uncertainty of customers of both WebCT and Blackboard, who wonder what the merger will mean for the future of the companies’ products. Representatives of WebCT and Blackboard, meanwhile, are holding events this week at Educause to try to reassure their clients that both lines of products will continue to be supported and improved.
