Better Blackboard: A Chrome Add-on for Improved Usability
Better Blackboard is a free Chrome add-on developed by Matthew Kilpatrick. It falls under the category of Browsers and specifically belongs to the subcategory of Add-ons & Tools. This add-on aims to enhance the usability of the University of Manchester Blackboard homepage by making some minor modifications.
The main features of Better Blackboard include replacing the "welcome" image on the homepage with a list of upcoming deadlines and submission links. This provides students with quick access to important information and helps them stay organized. Additionally, the add-on hides previous semester course units from the "Current courses" tab, decluttering the interface and making it easier for students to focus on their current courses.
