What I HATE about Blackboard Learn 9.1 SP 10
Statistics are broken
Reports not
reliable

Not useful --------------------------------------Very useful
“I used it a lot this semester and it saved me time, and helped when I was working on things when the library was closed. “

Comments:
“Great link to the online students who might otherwise feel like they have no library support.”
“appreciate the help and seem to benefit from it.” but “they use the embedded librarian feature very infrequently.”
Students in blended classes “are more inclined to call, email, or come to library to find me than they are to post their questions to Blackboard. Perhaps, if I get more proactive about posting relevant tips and materials, the students will take advantage of having access to librarian help via Blackboard. Still, they may not want to expose their questions to their classmates and/or teacher and will continue to not interact with me via Blackboard. Not sure at this point. “
Time will tell.
