On the heels of Instructure's recently announced Edtech Collective comes Blackboard's Center for Advancing Learning, it's new lobbying arm. It will focus on "top priorities for the education community" as it sees them, which right now means "supporting historically Black colleges and universities and community colleges, exploring accessibility and discussing online program management alternatives" (this is called 'tranching', where you take two popular initiatives and add to them a third riskier element that is mostly about your business bottom line). "Blackboard employees can volunteer time for the center and leaders will name fellows from academia and nonprofits in industry." Yeah. 'Volunteer'.
