Blackboard is a piece of shit and that's pretty universal lol
Thank God it's got a week or so left before my uni ditches it 🙌🏻 -
My school ditched it for instructure 2 years ago. it's 1000x better. perfect, no, but still an excellent platform.

Well, "industrial" software (and hardware) is widely known for being unjustifiably expensive, difficult to integrate with and generally shit. So I guess Blackboard fits the mark quite well

Haha wow I didn’t know it was THAT bad.
From memory it also doesn’t trim whitespace from answers. So if you have a quiz with the question: what is 2+2?
And you enter 4 (with trailing whitespace) you get fucked. -
@pez-dispenser text boxes are broken. Especially spell check.
If you type "sype" then replace the s with a t, it'll try to read "ype" as a word and will underline it as a misspelled word -
ENTERPRISE IS JUST A WORD FOR BAD SOFTWARE
I'm working for enterprise. Will quit soon. -
If you're still in school, consider this a good introduction to the "industry."
It's like "bank level" security, or other "best practices."

Can somebody explain why an "industrial" level "learning management system" uses javascript's eval function for their little makeshift calculator?
The existence of Blackboard pains me greatly.
