Look, mom, there's a man behind the curtain.... and he's doing something nasty!
I notice that I only get the Blackboard blues when I actually try to do something with the program.
Funny how that goes.
Today's challenge: Create a unit which has a page that only becomes available at the end of the week in the curriculum.
I figured that I would create a hidden page, which would be scheduled to be visible at the appropriate time. I would put that page at the beginning of the unit, so at the certain time students could be sent to the learning unit again and, tada, there is the summary page.
Unfortunately, I forgot the first principal of the Blackboard Learning System: Blackboard sucks.
Intead of hiding the page I made unavailable, I get this:
So much for hiding material but keep it in the flow.
I suppose that when the Blackboard programmers buy Christmas gifts for their kids, rather than hiding them in some secret closet, they leave them out in the living room marked "Don't think about until Dec. 25"
Feh. Wankers all.
