My University (the University of Aberdeen) uses Blackboard, I wonder if it mightn't be less horrible than the web interface.

It could be worse. It could be one of the many buggy, insecure home-grown solutions RGU has used in the past.

AFAIK they use Moodle now and it's leaps and bound better (more reliable, more secure, easier to use) than any of the previous solutions.

University of Aberdeen alumni here, do they still use the awful portal for timetables? I got half way through writing an Android app for parsing it and displaying it in a clearer way last year.

I'm not sure if I'm familiar with the system you refer to, apparently they overhauled everything recently, and I'm a fresher.
