The best bit in this article is near the bottom where the author quotes from the PR flim-flammery intended to be a student manual in the Blackboard system. As with so many corporate websites, this general rule applies: keep the public relations people (and their useless adjectives) as far away from the actual product as possible. The author's main point - that Blackboard doesn't offer students any place to write - is also well taken and reveals the way some LMS companies still think of education as some sort of broadcasting.
