Students HATE Blackboard. Instructors HATE Blackboard. Yet we invest a ton of money every year as part of the Software Licensing Agreement to use it. It is the biggest headache ever and the fact that a portion of our tuition is supporting this software that does absolutely nothing for my education is beyond crazy. Lets get NEU to stop using/investing in Blackboard and start using Coursekit. It is the simple way to manage your course and engage your students. It's free and always will be.
