Utah students’ idea for online education software catching fire

Educational technology specialists are praising it as a paradigm-shifting breakthrough in a market long dominated by Blackboard.

Back in 2008, Brian Whitmer and Devlin Daley, graduate students in computer science at Brigham Young University, were given an assignment to identify the worst software for supporting online management of educational content.

That was a no-brainer because it was right there at their fingertips. The learning management system, or LMS, they used every day was Blackboard’s Vista, found at BYU and almost every other Utah university.

"Surely, we were going to go out there and find something better," Daley said. "I was shocked that there was not."
