Karen - Can you briefly describe the difference between CourseWeb and
BlackBoard? ( blackboard.berkeley.edu ) . Why might a professor choose one
service over the other?
I'm sometimes torn between implementing custom services (such as online
quizzes) on the jschool site and sending profs to blackboard - on one hand
it's nice to have everything under one roof. On the other, why build
something that's already been built and is available free?
