Case Study: MetroHealth achieves improved learner outcomes and streamlined training with Anthology's Blackboard Learn

How Blackboard Learn Ultra Enhanced the Learning Experience for MetroHealth

MetroHealth, an integrated health system serving more than 300,000 patients across Cleveland and Cuyahoga County, needed a cost-effective way to deliver comprehensive, standards-driven professional development to thousands of clinicians. After trying alternatives that left instructors and learners frustrated by a disconnect between course materials and the gradebook, MetroHealth—led by Lynnae Lockett—chose Anthology’s Blackboard Learn (Blackboard Learn Ultra) to centralize content, assessments and communications.

Anthology deployed Blackboard Learn Ultra with features like a synced gradebook, Flexible Grading, analytics and seamless publisher integrations to streamline workflows and reduce administrative friction. MetroHealth reported reduced learner frustration, easier access to materials and due-date notifications, improved task completion and better grades—clear evidence of measurable uplift in training efficiency and learner outcomes following Anthology’s solution.
