    It's an LMS for schools/universities.

    Other such products are Blackboard and D2L (desire2learn)

    It’s like Google Classroom. A lot of colleges use it, and it got hacked during finals season last year

    I teach at such a campus.

    That was... not a fun week to be a professor.

    Mostly damage control for very freaked out students. The due date for the final paper was right when they shut everything down. I still had a few days to grade after it came back up.

    But yeah, I was getting emails all day and kept having to assure them I wasn't going to penalize them.
