    Default Online Classes...

    Does anyone else here think that vBulletin is a great alternative to Blackboard and that regular email would be better than Campus Cruiser? Just a 1am rant because I'm getting tired of not being able to figure this crap out because it's apparently made for computer-illiterate people by computer-illiterate people. lol

    I hate Blackboard and Novell email, that's what our school used and I don't know why. It sucks crack.

    My highschool had Novell... I don't see the point of it as they didn't use it for anything.

    Kanpuz Kroodzorr really is awful. I think my password is a 1.2tb encryption key for some idiot's home network or something, lol.

    EDIT: Oh yeah. They don't even put your teacher(s) or classmate(s) in your contacts for you. You have to search through a bigass list thing that doesn't work, lol. So basically you're screwed.

    not a fan of blackboard either.

    on the topic of online classes, has anyone here done any online degree programs? I am about () that close to dropping out of my uni and going to university of phoenix or something. I knew a guy who was doing pretty well for himself who had a University of Phoenix degree, he really liked it.

    We use blackboard and webct. They both suck but Blackboard gets a little easier over time. I agree though, I never check my student e-mail then I get in trouble for it lol.

    Swinburne is using blackboard, it's easy to use if your lecturers are computer literate...

    I seem to have a couple computer-literate teachers this time. My Environmental Biology teacher seems like he really knows how to teach. On my reading assignment he pointed out the chapters that weren't worth really reading and others that we need to pay special attention to. I'm excited. Time for me to learn something!

    We have WebCT (now WebVista) and our own in house web email program at the University of Minnesota (called GopherMail, based off of Prayer which is GNU GPL software). GopherMail works well (though I just use Thunderbird via IMAP for my campus e-mail), WebVista not so much. I have to +rep anyone who has to suffer through WebCT/WebVista/Blackboard as I do (submitting an assignment in IE7 through WebVista at the moment because it hates Firefox ).
