My girlfriend started taking a Masters in a college this year. In her course the faculty have shown some disorganization and computer illiteracy since day one but the latest one…completely killed me.

Besides their personal college e-mail, they wanted a platform to make announcements for all the course (20 students). I can think of a thousand ways to do this. Hell, even a Facebook group would be better. But no…

They have an e-mail address (like Masters_name@college.duh) where all the info is sent and EVERYBODY has the password to enter the e-mail and check the inbox.

That is it. I have no words. I think this is the most idiotic and dumb thing I’ve ever seen in IT.

    I went back to university last year and exactly this. They have Microsoft subscription with all the bells and whistles, classroom, work material, homework, etc.

    edit: I guess I just ADHDed in the middle of writing this comment. it was supposed to continue:

    … zoom and all its options, plus a custom classroom web app that replicates some of Microsoft’s stuff and all professors use WhatsApp for everything, and email only for delivering finals papers.
