just graduated from college...blackboard is a joke...its the only online course content management system they had so students and are forced to use it for certain things but everyone hates it
Blackboard has messaging boards, calendars, submitting assignments, groups, etc. but they are never used. It sounds like this is just another bulky piece of junk...but who knows, it may be all about the user experience.
I think it requires a whole paradigm shift...the more people get involved the more useful these tools could actually become, but since we have been let down already by some of these tools it is hard to make that up and get over that mental hurdle with any new piece of software that comes into play.
Another difficult thing to do is to get the teacher to be fully involved with the tool. Most of my professors have a difficult time with blackboard and so only use it for a few things and therefore we end up only using it for the same few things..we end up using probably 5% of the features available on blackboard
