"The Governance Institute is well known for providing leading edge governance training and accreditation, so partnering with Blackboard to deliver a seamless experience from end to end for students will be crucial to deliver on expectations now and into the future," said Megan Motto, CEO at the Institute. "The intuitive and immersive possibilities that will be created through this partnership will not only put the Institute in front of the market, but will provide a better learning experience and outcomes, therefore delivering on our organisational vision of a stronger society through governance excellence." The suite of Blackboard solutions will allow the Governance Institute of Australia to provide a unified, data-driven learning experience from registration to graduation. Blackboard Learn enables hybrid learning models that give educators the autonomy to utilise pedagogical best practices. Integrated with Learn, Blackboard Collaborate creates an embedded virtual classroom experience available across devices with an emphasis on encouraging student and faculty engagement. Collaborate delivers a fully interactive environment and enables real-time connections with one student or an entire class so educators can better meet the needs of all learners. "The Governance Institute of Australia will also deploy Blackboard's Registration and Management solution to provide the Institute with integrated participant registration, enrollment management, e-commerce capabilities, a manager dashboard, and corporate reporting tools. In addition, the integration with Genius affords the Governance Institute of Australia a comprehensive training management solution to facilitate the whole learning lifecycle while also aiding in automating Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA) reporting.
