Case Study: Arkansas State University achieves secure, cross‑campus collaboration and seamless cross‑device access with Dropbox integrated into Blackboard

Dropbox and Blackboard help Arkansas State University get in sync

Arkansas State University, a multi-campus system with 10 locations, needed a way to keep faculty and students synchronized as professors shuttle between campuses and classrooms. The university faced persistent challenges ensuring timely access to course materials and maintaining secure, manageable workflows across devices and sites.

By integrating Blackboard Learn with Dropbox Education, faculty can access and share Dropbox content directly inside the LMS—online or offline—with cross-device sync, shared folders, and seamless authentication. The result: faster collaboration and streamlined course workflows, improved faculty productivity, and stronger IT control over data and security through enterprise-grade permissions and centralized management.
