Introduction
As we were looking for a research topic, we saw that we needed to choose a reachable issue and that it will be better if it was a specific topic related with our rhythm of life, because on that time Blackboard was failing a lot and the entire weekend we were not able to use it, impacting us how are we dependent on the system.That’s how we chose to research about failures in Blackboard and how do they affect in student’s psychological habits, even Blackboard provides many advantages.
