Blackboard’s open architecture – through Blackboard Building Blocks® and Blackboard PowerLinks™ – allows clients to enhance and customize the online education experience for their students and faculty. Clients can assemble any combination of homegrown, commercial and open source Blackboard Building Block or Blackboard PowerLink software and tools that best meets their needs - whether it is a discipline-specific tool, an integration to a homegrown application or seamless integration to a subscription database at the institution library.
