I guess the new Bb is somewhat shinier that v8 but it's still clunky and the usability factor of Bb software in general continue to remain at an all time low.

Coursekit is a new contender in the same area of Blackboard and is already shaping up to be much more user friendly. Would be cool if St. Mary's would switch to it but I know how enterprise legacy software is... *sigh*
