ECC Board of Trustees
Executive Summary
Date:
June 25, 2015
Subcommittee:
Academic Affairs
Agenda Item:
SUNY System Administration Participating Institution Agreement (PIA) License for
Blackboard Learn for Academic Collaboration and Angel LMS and ePortfolio – Renewal
This item is for:
For Board's Information
Backup Documentation:
Attached to this document
Background Information:
ECC had been using ANGEL as the college course management system for online, hybrid and webassisted courses since 2003. Blackboard purchased ANGEL. In the Fall of 2014, ECC began the process of
migrating to Blackboard as the college Course Management System. By Spring 2015 all ECC online,
hybrid and web-assisted courses have been migrated to Blackboard. ECC will be continuing to use
Blackboard as the college course management system for online, hybrid and web-assisted courses.
Reasons for Recommendation:
SUNY System Administration executed a University-wide contract with Blackboard in 2012. The PIA will
allow ECC to continue to use Blackboard products for the next three years. All license fees are billed
directly from SUNY System Administration.
Fiscal Implications:
ECC licensing renewal costs will be split into three payments: $84,039 for December 22, 2014 to
December 21, 2015; $86,560 for December 22, 2015 to December 21, 2016; and $89,157 for December
22, 2016 to December 21, 2017.
Consequences of Negative Action:
Without the license for Blackboard, ECC will no longer be able to offer the current online, hybrid and
web-assisted classes. Distance learning accounts for approximately 14,000 student seats per year
(duplicated), or 13 percent of the FTE’s.
Steps Following Approval:
Review and approval by the Executive Vice President of Legal Affairs.

Dear Marti,
As you are aware, SUNY System Administration has executed a new University-wide contract
with Blackboard. This new agreement supersedes the previous ANGEL and Blackboard
contracts, as well as associated campus software schedules. Highlights of the new contract
include:
•
•
University-wide license for Blackboard Course Delivery, Community Engagement and
Content Management
o Contract covers licensing for Blackboard Learn, ANGEL or Blackboard CE
o Contract will cover ANGEL & Blackboard CE to the end of the product life
o Contract includes provisions for campuses to license additional Blackboard
products including Blackboard Mobile Learn, Blackboard Mobile Central,
Blackboard Connect and Blackboard Collaborate
o Special offers clause allows SUNY and Blackboard to work together to improve
pricing for University-wide or group acquisition of products
Campuses will be invoiced by SUNY System Administration for Blackboard licenses
rather than receiving invoices directly from Blackboard.
Our records indicate that your campus currently uses ANGEL. In order to continue using this
software, your campus will need to sign a SUNY Participating Institution Agreement (PIA).
The term of the PIA is 3 years (through 12/22/14). If your campus is not able to make the three
year commitment, please contact Sandy Cowin or Gerard Marino at slnr@.suny.edu for a custom
quote. For campuses that commit for 3 years. the license expense will increase 3% per year.
Lastly, as noted above, all Blackboard license fees are now billed centrally to SUNY System
Administration and fees will be passed on to the individual participating institution. Please see
the attached Campus License Cost Worksheet for your campus license cost.
Please note that in order to get all campuses aligned with the contract terms, SUNY System
Administration will need to invoice your campus for roughly an 18-month period. · Payment
options are either to pay up front, or split the cost into two payments. Please see the payment
options below:

SU'lY S)stem Adm,inistra~lon will invoice the campus on 07/01/12 to
cover license fees from 07,01/12- 12/21113 (one payment).
Option 1
SUNY System Administration will invoice the campus on 07/01/12 to
cover license fees from 07/01/12- 12/21/12. Then, S)·stcm
Administration will invoice the campus on 01/01/13 to co,·er license
fees from 12/22/12- 12/21113 (two payments).
Option 2
In the future, SUNY System Administration intends to invoice campuses only one time per year,
every January. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns.
