Kill Blackboard
- JoachimSchipper 16y agoOf course complaining on Facebook is going to "kill" Blackboard - after all, that's the primary resource that administrators use when deciding what to buy. Really, there's no need to do something productive, like actually working on a replacement. (Or even just trying out one of the alternatives!)
- lt 16y agoI could have used some context in that page. For a moment I was thinking it was referencing actual black boards sarcasticaly.
- martharotter 16y agoI thought so too. Actually that might have been more entertaining. Instead I was left with a "Okay so whadiya gonna do about it?" feeling.

- ghurlman 16y agoYou want to kill blackboard? Build a better product. Make it easy to move blackboard data into your product. Support legacy hardware, operating systems, and/or browsers. Snark & $10 on a domain name isn't going to get the job done.
- josephcohen 16y agoDon't worry, we're on it.
- alanh 16y agoPeople criticizing this for not being a replacement clearly miss the point. Their ARE alternatives and all users DO hate Bb but administrators choose it anyway... This can't hurt!
- aw9994 16y agoI like that it's driven by students. And for those complaining about context, if you read the title and didn't immediately get it you're probably not in their target demographic anyway. It is horrendous, but schools force it upon you. Thankfully at my university we recently switched to Desire2Learn (D2L), which is much better but still not great. I can not for the life of me print PDFs reliably from the Content sections. If you guys are ever hiring, let me know. I'm also a central PA student, though not at state.
