Blackboard is a legacy enterprise LMS widely used in US higher education, particularly at large public universities and community colleges that adopted it in the early 2000s. Now owned by Anthology following a 2021 merger with Campus Management, Blackboard Ultra represents its modern redesign. Despite increasing competition from Canvas and Brightspace, Blackboard retains a significant installed base.
Syllio reads Blackboard grade data and deadline feeds through the Blackboard REST API, enabling students to sync their Blackboard course calendars and due dates into the Syllio master calendar. Syllio's AI syllabus scan also works with PDF syllabi exported or downloaded from Blackboard courses.
