Blackboard_LogoAlthough it was only just starting to be used at the time I got out of college, Blackboard has become well-known over the last decade or so as the premier maker of educational content management systems for universities. Yesterday, Reuters reported that the company has received buyout offers, and is considering selling itself.

The company has not indicated who might be interested in buying it, but Reuters notes that it could be a great fit for traditional publishing houses interested in leveraging its existing services to create better online exposure for their products. Private equity investors could be interested as well due to its high cash flow business model.
