St. Dominic College of Asia selects Blackboard Learn to Improve Online Learning

[CAVITE], PHILIPPINES, 14 December, 2020 – Blackboard Inc., a leading EdTech software and solutions company, today announced that St. Dominic College of Asia has selected the company’s leading cloud learning management system (LMS), Blackboard Learn, as its first-ever LMS to support students and faculty. After a thorough review of the most relevant LMSs in the market, the College determined that Blackboard Learn was the best solution to further develop its online learning environment and drive academic success.

St. Dominic College of Asia is focused on investing in an LMS to provide its students with a mature digital learning environment to remain competitive with larger and more established institutions in the region.

St. Dominic College of Asia is leveraging Blackboard’s next-generation SaaS-based LMS, Blackboard Learn with the Ultra experience, which delivers a simpler, more powerful teaching and learning experience.

“We initially approached the top three LMS providers to assess the solution that was the best fit for our institution,” said Dr. Mary Nellie T. Roa, Vice President of Academic Affairs at St. Dominic College of Asia. “Based on the high degree of customer satisfaction and first-hand feedback on the rich features and capabilities of Blackboard Learn, the decision to appoint Blackboard was easy and one that I’m confident it will serve our students well.”
