It wasn't my decision to change platform

  • October 15, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I loved the simple design the app had, as it made every use of it feel snappy, even on the computers at university.
What do you dislike about the product?
I didn't dislike anything in particular, maybe the front page, as it doesn't have a main form of organizing what classes are on sight, and you have to know already where to dig in.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mainly organization of documents for most classes which it did pretty well. The main benefit is having all the class content in one single spot and not in separate emails.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Mostly nothing, it's perfect for most people and computers.

Blackboard learn review

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Blackboard is very user friendly. As a student, I have been able to use blackboard and communicate with professors as well as other students with ease. The uploading process can be down within a few clicks of a bottom. And if a problem does a rise then Blackboard is quick to fix the problem. I would recommend Blackboard Learn.
What do you dislike about the product?
On occassion Blackboard Learn would run into errors and students would not be able to upload work. While this could be problematic if a deadline was soon approaching, blackboard was always quick to respond. The problem was always taken care of in a timely manner.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Blackboard Learn, for me, was a way to connect virtually with classmates, professors, and others. This was a platform that served a functional way to submit assignments and gain feedback on those assignments. It also allows for a way to save paper and work virtually.

Accessible and Functional

  • October 15, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
All content is housed in the same place, and it's easy to update any readings or syllabi as needed. The journal and blog functionality was handy in my English classes. I loved the ability to toggle with privacy settings on individual blog posts. Some required student feedback, while others did not and were more of a personal experiment for my students. Overall, BlackBoard's system is flexible and able to accommodate multiple learning strategies.
What do you dislike about the product?
The grading system, for me, wasn't as functional and flexible as I'd like it to be and, due to my classroom needs. I had to keep grades on a separate system, which m
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
BlackBoard enabled me to implement learning strategies crucial to students' success and has made online learning an asset rather than an obstacle.

What do you like best about the product?
This is one best LMS i have ever used in my life. One of the key advantages is the customization of each page. I am the program manager i used to customize the LMS according to my client's requirements. Also, i can design the pages, for example, using different colors, inserting logo's etc.
Aprt from everthing it is user friendly for both the stake holders.
What do you dislike about the product?
According to my thoughts, one application should serve all the things; for example, one portal should serve the purpose of LMS and staff portal.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1. Creating the assignment links and helps me to Consolidate the assignments.
2. Tracking Assignments
3. Conducting online exams

Got it to work

  • August 19, 2021
  • Review verified by AWS Marketplace

I was able to get this to work by precisely following the Usage Instructions on the Marketplace page (ignoring the first step that links out to a 404 webpage) and using Firefox as my selected browser from my Mac. It would be nice to have an idea of how outdated this version of Blackboard is, since it seems a bit old.

Blackboard works well enough.

  • August 09, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like that Blackboard keeps content organized, and it is student and user friendly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Blackboard's inline grading could certainly use some work. It's not easy for professors or students; professors must save every comment or it's gone, and students must scroll for awhile to read feedback.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My online college courses are offered on Blackboard. Its easy-to-follow layout helps students navigate with few instructions.
