In October 2011, Edline merged with Blackboard. In 2009, Archipelago Learning acquired a minority interest in Edline as part of its acquisition by Providence Equity Partners. Edline worked with other emerging technologies and this could be demonstrated in the way that schools used it with social networks and applications such as Google Apps for Education. It could also serve as an online class platform where it would have been possible for students to learn remotely, particularly from their home. For instance, it could have been used as a companion website to classroom instruction or textbooks. Different schools may have uploaded varying amounts of data and information, depending on teacher preference and school requirements. Parents or students could even e-mail teachers if any kind of help is needed. The website mainly helped parents see if students have missed any homework.
The instructor/teacher could upload such material as upcoming tests, projects, homework, class expectations, and progress reports. Edline was used in many schools aiming to have paperless classes and homework, thereby cutting costs.
