Blackboard

I actually enjoy Blackboard for a number of reasons.
1) It save lots of papers. Teachers can post things online rather than making tons of copies of it.
2)You can have discussions with your classmates.
3)It is easy to upload files onto Blackboard
4)The format of Blackboard is easy and self explanatory.
5) A great way for teachers to post comments and announcements to students
6) Allows you to see the email addresses of all the people enrolled in your class so if you need some peer mentoring you can contact anyone of your choice.

What section of Blackboard that none of my professors used was the Collaboration Session where there can be a virtual classroom & online chats. I think that would have been a cool way to have classes especially during holiday weeks so students wouldnt feel the pressure of coming to classes. If I get to use Blackboard as a teacher some day, this is one function of Blackboard I want to utilize
