Uni prof here- the one that continues to plague me is Google Classroom. It may as well be the default for my department, which means if I switch to Moodle, Canvas, etc., I also have to manage all the student headaches that come with requiring them to use unfamiliar software. Also have to dip way into my budget for features I’m currently getting for free. Would really like to make a clean break from Google but this one hook is still in me. Blarg.
I wouldn’t stress out too much. Take what victories you can. Additionally, while institutional change is hard, introducing your students to LibreOffice and other useful free tools is still a powerful avenue for change.
