Blackboard

So one of the sites that everyone at Syracuse uses on a daily or weekly basis is Blackboard. While blackboard is the bane of some people's exsistence, it can be a great website and learning tool if used properly. The whole point of Blackboard is user interaction. Teachers post information, students view the information. Without interaction from both users, teacher and student, the website would be pointless and unhelpful. The design of Blackboard is one of the aspects of the website that makes it easy to use and a good tool. Each student logs in to their own page, with their own classes and organizations. It's organized with classes seperately and then subcategories in each class. The communication section allows a student to email or message any or all of the class members, including the professor. The function and success of blackboard depends solely on user interaction.
