|University of Toronto||Linda Murphy-Boyer||BlackBoard||7.2||||||Sep-09||approx 5000||Satisfied||Unlikely||||After much debate and kerfuffle we have now achieved acceptance from most of our instructors. In addition we have spent much time and many resources developing training materials and custom building block modules for grouping blogging and grafting courses. That said in my opinion it would be very unlikely that we would choose another system when our licence comes due next year.
