• “Default Blackboard assessments are rather bland
looking (just like the whole system)”
• “That’s the major flaw… they don’t care so much
about visual presentation”
• “It’s hard for students to find Blackboard visually
appealing after spending hours on Flickr, MySpace,
Bebo or Last.fm”
Moodle’s not much better…

“The joy of using InQuizitor is that
it doesn't feel like learning - but it
is and you are. Once you start
you just can't stop. It's more
compelling than reconstituted
potato snacks in a tube.”
