The language faculty at Oberlin have been using Blackboard with great
success, as have the faculty from many other departments. However, one
third of the languages we support CANNOT use Blackboard because it does not
handle non roman fonts in a consistent way.
Yes, here -are- some clever workarounds for some of these languages but
the reality is that while the Blackboard management team talks the talk
about providing support for all languages...it's NOT there.
Comments?
