Blackboard was founded in 1997 by Michael Chasen and Matthew Pittinsky and is supposed to be geared towards higher learning involving social media.  ANGEL is more prominent in community colleges and teaching- orientated institutions, and Blackboard is more prominent in Colleges and Universities and could better fit the needs of students for the future.
