myWPI is WPI's rebranded version of the http://www.blackboard.com/us/index.aspx Blackboard system, allowing courses to post documents, assignments, and grades online in a secure manner. myWPI also enables discussion boards in which students and course staff can leave comments and questions for each other. While myWPI has been put to good and often creative uses by many professors, some students consider it to be buggy, overcomplicated and unnecessary. Additionally, professors and TAs often stumble upon bugs and misfeatures in the software that limits its utility somewhat, and sometimes resort to combining myWPI with a separate, external Web site, further complicating matters for the students (who must then look in both places to get the full picture of what is going on).
