Don't forget the Text Editor can in fact be turned off at the end user
level, this is now part of the 'Personal Information' section of
Blackboard. It will just be a case of communicating to staff that they
do have the option of turning the editor off, if they do not find it of
use.
I do totally agree with you Bruce, the editor is very inflexible, I have
a problem with script outside of the body too, I am waiting in
anticipation for App pack 3 to see if it brings any changes.
Cheers
Anthony

Sarah,
We are still using the textbox editor, but not happy with it.
It won't accept any html outside body text and this means that it won't
accept our accessibility code and other things. We would like to see it
improved and I wouldn't be surprised if we turned it off. Ideally, it
should be controllable at course level. I.e. end users turned it on, if
they were inexperienced users of html and off if they were.
Regards,
Bruce

Dear all,
Has your institution turned off the Text Box Editor for any reason? Are
there any known problems with the Text Box Editor being turned on? We
are currently debating its usefulness here at our institution and would
welcome comments.
