I do use Blackboard. . . . I can put a team together in Blackboard that can communicate on their own-that can e-mail their own team through the Blackboard site. They can create discussions just within their team, if they would like to. All of those things have definitely helped. I used to make them exchange e-mails-"And make sure you 'cc' me on important e-mails"- and I was flooded with e-mails. So I now feel with some of these course software packages that it is becoming easier to do this type of work.
