Blackboard should receive a serious push from the school to work better and more consistently, or Mines should switch to a different system.
Blackboard is notorious for crashing during peak usage times, which is inconvenient for teachers and students alike. Not only does Blackboard supply grades, but it also hosts quizzes, homework, and study materials: all things that students should have access to 24/7. Many students have trouble accessing Blackboard on mobile devices, and the app (which you have to pay for) crashes frequently. Blackboard is used by numerous schools across the country and either needs a harder push from schools to increase their reliability and service, or needs to be replaced with something more reliable. Its simply not fair to students.
Hello!
We met with our CIO and he informed us that there were some major changes made and bugs fixed that should prevent nearly all blackboard crashes in the future. Hope this helps!
Love,
USG

Hello!
We are going to ask the blackboard administrator why these errors occur so often. Once we get that information we will work on what to do next!
