We talked a while ago about a web page you can use to submit suggestions directly to Blackboard on how they can improve their product. Your ideas are being heard. At last check they had received almost 200 suggestions from USF. Good job.
Additionally, the recently completed Photo Roster tool was the direct result of your suggestions. We never would have built that if you hadn’t told us you wanted it.
Taking a cue from that, we’ve built a simple form right into myUSF so that you can make suggestions directly to us about how we are running Blackboard at USF. If there’s some way you think we could be doing things better, a tool or function that would make your life wonderful, or something that’s currently driving you nuts, please let us know about it via this form.
There are three ways to get to the suggestion form
-
Students
In every course, in the Course Tools menu, you’ll find a link to the Suggestion form.
- Instructors
In every course Control Panel, in the Tools area, you’ll find a link to the form.
- Everyone
When you first log in, a module with a link to the form is available by default on the Welcome tab.
Looking forward to all your great ideas.

an easy to manage/use/locate GPA calculator would be a neat new feature.

Hi,
The new grade center is, in my opinion, A GIANT STEP BACKWARDS!
It is slow to load, and it is slow everytime you add a new item.
It doesn’t tell you how many students are in each section-you have to count.
It doesn’t show all the names at once. The window is too small.
It sounds like, from the instructions, that entering grades is going to be more difficult.
All in all, I would like the old gradebook back.
I may have to go back and enter grades in EXCEL, and not use the power? of Blackboard.

It would be great if the symbol for new suggestions didn’t look just like a TRASH CAN … is this subliminal messaging to “please don’t submit garbage ideas?”
Just curious …
