| Our school won't approve anything else to post grades on. Otherwise, webCT would be ancient history.
Edit: And the reason I hate webCT is because I submitted a *MAJOR PROJECT* that was due the next day, and I checked a few minutes before the due date hit, and my project was gone. Yep. Completely gone. Good thing I checked, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get it back in on time. (edited by Drag on 01-29-07 08:17 PM) |

The professor I talked to just a few minutes ago gets student complaints about WebCT all the time, and hates it herself...  |

| We use something called Blackboard here, and it sure sucks a whole bunch...
Instead of using Blackboard, all my Computer Science teachers set up their own websites and such to take care of class stuff.... In most cases it works a whole lot better than the stupid Blackboard package. |

| Blackboard isn't too bad. Better than Web-CAT (is this related to WebCT? Not sure). The CS department tends to use Moodle, though, and that's rather nice. | |||

| Use fucking moodle.
Our school uses it and it rocks.  Though we do have some assignments that the teacher hadn't updated from the last year. xD But he updates thoose as he sees them. |

| We use Blackboard as well. I don't know any other "e-learning" systems, so I cannot judge how well BB works, compared to other solutions.
On the one hand it's good that you obtain your material directly (PDFs and other files) and instead of having printed 600+ pages (like one lecture/course requires you to read about fifty pages per week) and paying for that, you can download it easily. It' not that much work reading the stuff, but if you have multiple tasks and having to find the fitting text from that huge (obviously not-sorted) stack of paper on your desktop. The downside is still is the fact, that very few grades are visible online; though you know the result directly after you got your test or term paper back. Those 'quizes' can be created as well and the lecturers even can check if you participated in it or not. But fortunately these doesn't count/gives grades - would be useless anyway if you take part from home ... as you have access to your books and the world wide web. I don't like to read longer texts on the computer, and what I might need later as well (not only in the forthcoming lesson), it is still easy enough to hit the "print" button. I just wished, Blackboard worked properly with lololol; for some reason our version doesn't display anything after logging in - but there's that neat "IE Tab" extension for FF, which fixes that issue without any flaws.

| My university retired both Blackboard and WebCT usage campuswide and instead switched to their own ICON (Iowa Courses Online). It's pretty nice, I've had no problems thus far and have used it for multiple classes, both this semester and last. | |||

| My university uses WebCT (blows), WebAssign (not so bad but still kinda blows), and some of the CS professors code their own homepages and assignment submission forms (they don't use cookies, so I can't have it open for more than 30 minutes without risking losing 8 hours of work). Hooray for lazy professors, eh? | |||

| Blackboard bought out WebCT by the way. Didn't really effect anything I guess, it still sucks.
I used Blackboard in High School, and WebCT last Semester at my College, both sucked. Definitely sad the websites don't work very well in anything besides IE6. |

They used Blackboard at the alma mater. Can't think of any classes I took that actually used the damn thing, though.  |

| I used Moodle for one class last year... it actually worked out well.
The teacher using all kinds of math functions in the document files, however, didn't. I needed to get OpenOffice just to view the damn stuff. |

You'd think a school-based thing like this would work right and be pretty stable, but ... hah, yeah right. (edited by Racer Xeo on 01-30-07 11:52 PM) |

| My high school tested some automated quiz program once. Man was it dumb. It would mark you wrong if your answer didn't match letter-for-letter (eg "Texas" is wrong, correct answer is "The state of Texas" or some such stupidity) and sometimes even if it did. It failed everyone and the teachers ended up grading them all by hand anyway.
Those teachers did nothing but look for ways to get out of work. Often we'd simply be told to exchange papers with the person next to us (not even specifying a direction, leading to much confusion) and grade their work as the teacher read off the answers. Needless to say, this never actually worked; people would always just mark their friends' work right whether it was or not (sometimes correcting it on the fly), or in many cases, just not exchange papers and grade their own. |
