Jason, we should do our research on Blackboard. You are being non-rigorous
here. The only reason it's *off* is that I tipped you off that the option
even existed, and you had it turned off. That's a data point of one (Jason
Straw). Let's ask the Blackboard reps. what they are doing and what their
schools in general are doing. This way, we can go in with some informed
ideas (and not just our own predilections/prejudices).
