    Blackboarg software costs universities an arm & a leg, AND gets worse in every iteration. A remarkable feat of corruption and incompetence.https://twitter.com/meredithclark/status/834257644831506433 …

    Professor friends, pray my strength. Every. single. time. I go into Blackboard, it's doing something I never asked/wanted it to do.

        moodle is free as in beer, but fairly costly as in kittens.

        once, it was cutting edge. Now, it merely runs on inertia. Don't underestimate organizational resistance to change in universities.

        dunno for sure, haven't worked on a BB campus. But Moodle costs are chiefly staff/support, & BB has those plus fees.

        Don’t admire their feat too much. All it takes to produce mind-bogglingly awful software is two ingredients: indifference and time.

        Also, blackboarg. Deliberate? Or should I be kicking myself for not calling it blackborg all these years?

        last time I went anywhere near it it felt like an Oracle product too, right down to systems architecture.
