Blackboard is a reseller for the e-Suds online laundry service

Blackboard becomes USA Technologies' reseller to expand distribution of e-Suds : CR80 News:

OK, we know by now that Blackboard is a ruthless, money grabbing, nasty capitalist company that is more focused on revenues than learning.

But this seems a curious sideline

"Blackboard becomes USA Technologies' reseller to expand distribution of e-Suds

Campus card solutions provider Blackboard is getting into the laundry business. It has added the eSuds online laundry service to its product line, giving USA Technologies access to hundreds of Blackboard's colleges and universities.

High Tech Laundry and Leading-edge Payment System Combine to Improve Laundry Experience

MALVERN, Pa--Blackboard Inc., the nation's leading provider of software and services to the education industry, has become a reseller of USA Technologies' e-Suds online laundry service.

USA Technologies announced that Blackboard had added e-Suds to its product line and would offer it to hundreds of academic institutions that use the Blackboard Transaction System.

e-Suds is the leading Internet connected laundry system that was recently featured on Fox National News for its innovativeness."

I think it is time to return e-learning to the education sector - not a company which washes its dirty washing in public.
