It was a surprisingly reasoned response for officials in my neck of the woods.

I don't know anyone at a university that doesn't use Blackboard to run at least their online courses.

... and despise every minute of it. Ok, so it isn't that bad, but I'm not really surprised a 3rd grader could hack it.

misleading title?
