Las Vegas, Nevada -- MyKnowledgeMap announced this week that they have become a Blackboard partner, and will offer a version of the industry-leading Assessment Tiger tools that integrate with Blackboard Learn. The announcement preceded the Blackboard World conference in Las Vegas, where MyKnowledgeMap demonstrated their award-winning assessment system.

The board at MyKnowledgeMap authorised the investment required to closely integrate with Blackboard Learn earlier this month, and the detailed design phase of the integration work required was started. The plan is that this development will encompass both LTI interoperability standards support plus deeper Blackboard-specific integration functionality using the Building Blocks technology.

MyKnowledgeMap exhibited Assessment Tiger at the BbWorld exhibition, where they demonstrated the world's most advanced QTI 2.1 authoring tool, as well as innovative models for mobile assessment in practice settings. They shared their ideas about Blackboard integration with a wide range of Blackboard developers and customers.

A formal beta testing programme to give institutions advance insight into the integration will open shortly. Contact assessmenttiger@myknowledgemap.com for more information.
