Blackboard Learn and Collaborate Ultra platforms do meet the FERPA requirements. Please see here for the details. LMS platforms, generally speaking do not meet HIPAA guidelines as they should not be used to house patient data. This is the case for Kent State University’ version of Blackboard Learn and the primary vendors: Learn Ultra, Canvas, and Desire 2 Learn. Blackboard has a statement on HIPAA in section 10.b of this page. Most video conferencing platforms are not HIPAA compliant. Microsoft Teams and the Health Care version of Zoom are HIPAA compliant.
