Blackboard Learn™ is a Learning Management System (LMS) developed by Blackboard Inc. It is web-based server software which features course management, customizable open architecture and scalable design that allows integration with student information systems and authentication protocols. Its main purpose is to add online elements to courses which are traditionally delivered face-to-face and develop completely online courses with little or no face-to-face meetings.

To improve performance and provide High Availability (HA), Blackboard Learn™ supports using a hardware or software load balancer and multiple application servers. The LoadMaster can be used to load balance Blackboard Learn™ traffic.
