The University of Petra & Blackboard Partnership in Jordan
The University of Petra in West Amman, Jordan was established in 1991. In this short time, UOP has expanded to eight facilities with 7,400 students and holds the Quality Management ISO 9001 certification for supporting higher education and the Higher Education Accreditation Commission’s Quality Assurance certificates as well as other certificates. Blackboard is honored to partner with UOP in supporting the pursuit of education availability and advancement.
The original idea was to get the university’s instructors who were early adopters of Blackboard tools to train other instructors in their colleges. This way, more instructors could learn about e-learning platforms and tools and spread the knowledge to more female students.
