All New User Experience
I love the new features in SP8, especially the new look and feel. It is much cleaner
and is really the next step for Blackboard. Great job and thanks for listening to your customers.

Making Things Easier For Educators
I really like the new features I have seen in SP8, especially the automatic regrading of tests. This will save a lot of by hand and manual calculations and the instructor can do this without tech support! This will be on our test server ASAP!
I am very excited to try it out and kick the tires.

Ottawa University
Empowering Administrators
I am most looking forward to the GUI updates, such as snapshot and authentication, in SP8. It is just easier than the command line option. I also like the course merge feature. We have a lot of course merges so anything that improves this process will help us. Finally, the improved look and feel will also create more engagement from users.

Improving Insight Into Education
This data is vital for our institutional efforts to increase student retention rates, increase student outcomes, and become a learning-centered university. It also helps instructors identify 'at risk' students and better understand how all students are interacting with course content and each other."
