Blackboard is a pain

So in just over a week my 2nd semester exams start, and right now I’m in the exam study period. Usually I would be in Edinburgh to revise in the library, etc but I was ill this week so I remained back in Kirkcaldy. Not seriously ill but the idea of me driving 45 mins each way was out the question considering I couldn’t sit still for 10 mins. Also, it’s taken until this long to get back to normal (mostly).

Anyway, due to this I’ve been using all of the online materials from labs and lectures to study with. The big pain is how Blackboard displays them - as they are all pretty much all power points and word files I have to download then and view them in-app.

There has to be a better way than this - a google docs frontend with Blackboard running the backed CMS stuff (and everything else)?

One only hopes
