We need something new here!

We are upgrading from Bb 7.2 straight to 9.0 next year. Anyone have any current experience with 9.0?

marjoryt We are being told that it will be worse than the WebCT to Bb change.

Not only will I move to the new Bb version, but I'll also pick up a different course while mentoring 2 new instructors. Across the state, we're hearing that DLCs are letting some adjunct online instructors go (no longer giving them classes).
