Blackboard is so shit that sometimes you look at it and out loudly say "what the fuck is this shit and who thought it was a good idea?". I remember trying to upload a document, dragging the file to the upload button and the file opening in the browser. Whereas if they used the standard _HTML4_ file input type, you can drag files on top of them to select them without browsing to its location.

I cruise without Java and Flash so it must have been some sort of hacked together proprietary upload button which triggered a regular file dialog anyway (JavaScript was enabled, I think). And that's just the tip of the iceberg. If there's any space to disrupt it's e-learning, but that's probably more of a deal-cutting job with major institutions than having an objectively better (looking) product.
