Cisco has announced plans to acquire education platform Involvio.
The Involvio platform contains a host of features for teachers around student experience, engagement and retention.
Javed Khan, General Manager of Collaboration at Cisco, said: “Over the last several months, we’ve seen that hybrid learning can be an effective way to connect teachers, students and parents.
“To provide a more robust experience for work and learning in this new hybrid future, Cisco is excited today to announce our intent to acquire Involvio LLC, a New York-based software company and leading student experience platform.
“The acquisition, together with the Involvio team’s extensive knowledge of our developer tools, will enhance our education offerings and vertical solutions while also catalysing the expansion of the Webex open platform for other developers”
Involvio had previously been involved in the development of Webex Education Connector, which allows education institutions to plug Webex into their learning management systems.
The acquisition is set to close in Cisco’s Q4.
Cisco has made a number of acquisitions to bolster its collaboration offering over recent months, including the likes of Slido, Socio and Babblelabs.
Last week the vendor revealed its revamped Webex platform.
