Honestly, a lot of times, it's not up to the faculty. The school (at
some level in the hierarchy) makes the decision to go with WebCT over
something else, and that's that.
Yeah, it's called marketing. I'm stuck with Blackboard at SDSU.
I only use it to post my grades. And, unfortunately, I would have to
use *something* secure (read: software maintained by someone else who
will take the blame if it gets hacked) to post my grades.
For collaboration, the class uses the mailing list. For distribution, I
use a web page that I hand hack the HTML. It's actually *easier* than
using Blackboard.
Honestly, if I need a Web Education System, I shouldn't be teaching CS.
Now, if somebody would come up with a cheap and convenient way for me to
videotape my classes, I would be all over that.
