they're a bitch to navigate, totally inefficient and useless to anyone who doesn't want to spend a week finding a relevant message.

all the lecturers get shitted off at people who can't use them. i consider myself relatively computer-literate, i've used discussion boards like this one for about 4 years (well, a skiing one for 4 years and this one for about a year), but fuck, i still struggle with webCT.

especially when part of the assessible component involves using it (eg: econ110). You don't want to blow up about it on there because all the lecturers know who you are.

<end bitch>

Econ110 uses the WebCT template. And as a forum, it just doesn't work. It's awful to navigate.

Go BoS!

Avatars isn't the important things. It's hard to follow replies to questions. They don't have thread threads. Especially if you only read unread.

i think it's a great idea, a great way to get help directly from the lecturers

but yes, they are SO hard to navigate around!! i hate them, it's too hard to find new replies, even to open a thread is too hard! if you don't untick you can open 10 at once if you like

yeah if they can get a board similar / with similar navigation to this up it will be much easier to post and find replies
