That's a tough question to answer, although just behaving sanely would be a start (if you overtype a grade in a neighboring column it destroys the old grade immediately and permanently, Blackboards solution to prevent this is to make you press enter in each and every cell in the table) A pain point for me is Blackboard can sort of create exam questions with a formula for answers, but it's quite buggy and very low featured (for example it claims to do exponents but I wouldn't trust it to calculate a standard deviation). Since professors using Blackboard for exams end up entering many questions into the system (unless the textbook vendor supplies a Blackboard test bank, talk about lock in!) making that as fast and as intuitive as possible is a good place to start. I did some Googling and found this: http://www.cod.edu/it/blackboard/testgenerators.htm#BYUI http://www.cod.edu/it/blackboard/testgenerators.htm#BYUI so apparently this kind of thing is doable.
