Aye. After almost 3 years of use, WebCT bothers me as well.

I've used WebCT, Blackboard, and now this thing called bspace. It has a nice interface for humanities related classes but it is virtually useless for, at least, computer science classes. One CS class tried to use it and that project failed so badly that the class abandoned it 4 weeks into the semester in favor of a homebrewn system.

Eh, Blackboard isn't too bad. Used it rather extensively in First Year, the Science Department kind of abandons it in the higher years apart from distributing lecture notes.

That being said, never had a problem with it using either Safari or lololol.

The problem I have is with the shitshow known as "homerconnect"

Anybody else used this? It's so fucking convuluted, I have to like go to "register", something you wouldn't associate with the task I'm trying to do, which is...look at my weekly schedule.

I don't see this as a bad thing. OpenOffice is good. Besides the other way around happens alot too.

Besides the Microsoft equilant of that Math formula construction program is in a bit more expensive MS office pack...

Seems like allot of people have blackboard or webCT, and are annoyed at it. I wonder if there's some kind of contract... since there's apparently superiror open source solutions.

Of course, it dosen't help when the professor don't use the system properly.

Ailure: She shouldn't have included those functions then because most of the class wouldn't even know that OpenOffice existed.

Hell, if it wasn't for OO I wouldn't have passed that course.
