Got a suggestion? How about a question?

Wednesday, July 9th, 2008

I was talking to someone about the assignment tool the other day who didn’t understand why assignments were downloaded the way they were.

All I could do was explain the steps required according to how the tool was designed. We lease this software from a company called Blackboard.  If you have ideas that you’d like implemented (like drag and drop file management?) or design changes that would make your users experience better, then you should tell them! They have a suggestion drop-box that anyone can contribute to. It’s a big bit of software, so changes won’t occur overnight, but the more suggestions they get, the more likely the software will meet your needs.

If you are a student, you can use the link to Ask Dr.C on the right side of the student support page.  If you are faculty, teaching staff or a TA, you also have a link to Ask Cr. C on the instructors and designers support page.
