Cengage Buys Pathbrite, Electronic Portfolio Service

Cengage Learning announced Tuesday that it has purchased Pathbrite, which offers schools and colleges electronic portfolio services. Schools and colleges can offer students portfolios in which to include a range of materials to document their work -- and these materials can be used by students to complete requirements or demonstrate ability for certain jobs. The announcement comes a month after Cengage bought Learning Objects, which will allow Cengage to help colleges put programs online.
