Replacement for webct. And yes, everyone will be using it from now on.

To use it though, you've got to set up a zmail account.

It seems a hell lot slower than WebCT though, everything takes years to load.

Black board needs about 10secs to load for me....I'm using firefox.

Dunno, perphaps it depends on what windows are open on you homepage?

 

[Dumsum]

Blackboard pretty much instant here. Using Chrome.

 

[Omie Jay]

How was the busline at central this morning?

Not bad at all, (says the person who turned up at 8.45). But there were two buses boarding at the same time, with one being a bendy bus, with back door open as well.

i'm still so very very unprepared for uni

 

[tommykins]

just switched to chrome, blackboard 10x quicker now.

kevin - i tried doing hw but all i did was play games hahaha still in holiday mode.

 

[biopia]

Safari's also another option for people suffering blackboard lagging. Instant load (Y)

 

[rubookmark]

Might have to try chrome then.

It took me 3 hours to review our physics lecture yesterday (yes review, not h/w). You can prbly guess why by the plethora of posts on BOS.

 

[Dumsum]

is unsw wifi slow or is it just me?

Not just you. It's absolute shite.
