Q: Why do faculty use the software "Blackboard"?

It is becoming apparent to me that, outside my field, use of Blackboard and other LMS software is becoming extremely common. Indeed, a rash of technical problems here is making it apparent students and administrators alike seem to assume that Blackboard is the exclusive (locked) gateway to the co...

user259867

The question is a bit odd. "I find it vastly simpler to create a course website." So do I, but what can I do with that website?

Can I collect homework there, using University's single login system? No

Can Blackboard do a single sign on? Never knew that (when we used it, it was a separate account that we had to link through a crappy "invite code" kind of deal)

user259867

Also, from a student's point of view, dealing with 5-6 randomly composed faculty website might not be any easier than using the admittedly kludgy BB.

user259867

Here it uses the same id/password combination as the other university services.

user259867

One still logs in separately.

user259867

Not sure if it means someone copies over a database of ids and passwords in plain text, but at least I don't have to remember another one.

@NormalHuman Then use an openid system or something, it has to be possible

Hm, Centaurus wouldn't have selected a wrong answer. How odd.

Kevin Brown

@Braiam Classes don't that up that much time (like 18 hours a week or something) but after adding in classwork and anything uni-related I'd rather not tack on an extra 30-40 for work most weeks
