Instructure Is Truly Anomalous

By Michael Feldstein. Posted on July 14, 2015

Listen
Phil started his last post with the following: I’m not sure which is more surprising – Instructure’s continued growth with no major hiccups or their competitors’ inability after a half-decade to understand and accept what is at its core a very simple strategy. Personally, I vote for Door #1. As surprising as the competition’s seeming sense […]

The Evolving LMS Market, Part II

By Michael Feldstein. Posted on December 22, 2010

Listen
I have gotten a lot of very nice compliments in the last 24 hours about the first post in this two-part series. I do want to emphasize that a huge portion of the value in that post comes from the great survey work that Casey Green does. All I did was tease out a few […]

The Evolving LMS Market, Part I

By Michael Feldstein. Posted on December 21, 2010

Listen
As Casey Green said in my recent interview with him, the LMS space is a “market in transition.” In 2005, the year that Blackboard acquired WebCT, the two platforms had a combined total of 75.6% U.S. higher education market share, and the next closest competitor had barely cracked 2% market share. Today, the situation is […]

If anybody out there has talked to the DoJ and would like to share some details, please let me know. You can contact me privately at michael [at] mfeldstein […]

Indeed, Matthew Small, Blackboard’s chief business officer (and general counsel) stated “I don’t think that there’s any […]

Three Tests for the 'New' Blackboard

By Michael Feldstein. Posted on May 14, 2009

Listen
Today Blackboard announced that ANGEL’s Ray Henderson will be the new President of the Blackboard Learn division. This is great news. Ray is one of the best executives in educational technology today, known for his competence, his integrity, and his leadership in supporting open standards and openness in general. Does this mean a new beginning […]

Open Thread on Blackboard/ANGEL Merger

By Michael Feldstein. Posted on May 6, 2009

Listen
Update: It looks like “bbplusangel” has already gotten some momentum on Twitter, so I’m switching my tag over to that. I’ve already invited the opinions of ANGEL customers on a different post, but let me throw the doors wide open. I’m really curious to hear from all of you regarding your opinions. What are your hopes? […]
