If you routinely read these posts, you’ll know that I have already commented on the vagaries of the Blackboard software used by some universities for online teaching.
Professor Lee Bowman, one of my virtual friends, has said in her blog yet again that despite consulting with her about the problems, Blackboard still hasn’t fixed its content management system. The result has been that students are now giving up in frustration. They would rather lose credit in the class, than waste any more time attempting to participate online.
You can read her latest post here; but you have to wonder just what it will take for Blackboard to get its act together. She has already started lobbying her university to dump it altogether.
