They'll be Sorry

CCBC is switching from WebCT to Blackboard 9.1. I know nothing about WebCT, but it is nearly inconceivable that it's worse than Blackboard 9.

Analogy: I've chosen an integer, 1. Then we generate a uniform discrete random integer in the range 0 to 32767.  What is the probability the random integer is less than one? Approximately the same probability that an unknown course management tool is worse than Blackboard?

the range 0 to 32767
1. should it not be -32767 thru +32766?

2. HACC (harrisburg area comm coll) uses webCT...it is horrible. blackboard is better IMHO

You might be right. I was going unsigned to exaggerate the likelihood that anything other than Blackboard would be better than Blackboard, but if WebCT actually is worse, then my probabilities might be off.
