Edvance360, a leading provider of eLearning services and software solutions and last year's CODiE winner for Best Post-Secondary LMS, announced that West Hills Community College (WHCCD) left Blackboard™ to join the growing Edvance360 LMS-SN community of users.

“The student satisfaction rate is steadily improving as we move from the spring 2012 implementation into the summer and fall semesters. Sixty percent of students expressed satisfaction in the spring 2012 semester, improving to 70 percent in the summer semester. At this rate, we will have nearly 100 percent student satisfaction at the end of the first year.
The experience in receiving support from Edvance360 is a completely different from our previous experience. We have incredible access at all levels of the Edvance360 organizational structure, which has resulted in an amazingly successful implementation and integration of this new learning management system.” - Lenore Simonson, Educational Technology Specialist at West Hills Community College District
