responses. I’m going to contact the instructors involved and ask about
the curriculum for their class. One is a music class and the other is
Psychology. I think the major problem will be if the discussion board in

the discussion board heavily.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:

the teacher will use most of the time. It is horrible at the text chat
and the white board. The discussion board can be very awkward but is
technically accessible. As for course content, the major problem is how
the faculty member designs the content and what format is used. . powerpoint,
multimedia, text files, Word files etc.<br>
<br>
If I can help further, let me know. We teach courses using Blackboard all
the time.<br>
