What do you like best about the product?
I love that this is an easy place to check grades as well as assign different projects.

Blackboard Training
What do you like best about the product?
We use Blackboard to facilitate training for our student workers. There are different modules based on how long they've been with us and their status, as well as areas we use to tell them how they're doing on attendance.
What do you dislike about the product?
Accessibility can be an issue. I have trouble using it and making sure I have all the documents up in the right area.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Training is being streamlined so it is more organized and easier for them to get refreshers when they need them.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You have different statuses on Blackboard, and they all do different things. I can't add content, add/delete students and change the page all at once. Those things are done by the instructor, embedded librarian and administrator separately.
Collaborative System
What do you like best about the product?
Very useful for larger campuses, ease of access for professors to link information with students.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not as many applications within the system as we’d like.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Student-professor interactions are increased therefore grades and learning are boosted.
Blackboard Uconn
What do you like best about the product?
The layout of all of the classes and assignments make it logical for the students to see what was covered and any new material added.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike how blackboard does not automatically take your old classes away from the dashboard and put them in "upcoming classes". It could confuse students if they see too many classes in there. Blackboard should also take classes that were last semester's and put them in a different "past classes" section and not in the general classes section.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solving the problem of online exams with lockdown browser!! Amazing way to make sure kids are not cheating, while giving the luxury of taking an online exam! Saving the trees!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use it!! Amazing platform for students to achieve success!
Blackboard is an Essential... Mood
What do you like best about the product?
Surely one of my favorite applications used to stay in sync and keep in contact with my peers, professors, and other school staff in a timely and efficient manner, very savvy, completed with user friendly keys and settings
What do you dislike about the product?
The downsides would likely be that there's often a bit of a downtime which is RARE but mainly towards the start of the semester where so many users are logged on the servers crash
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Computer based skills, Visual Fine Arts techniques and case studies, Building tools, and fully detailed instructions based on third party links
Great for viewing information and collaborating
What do you like best about the product?
You can engage in discussions with others.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes there are many navigation settings.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helps keep information stored and shared in one place and for groups to discuss topics.
I have used Blackboard both as a student and as a lecturer.
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy Blackboard is to navigate. It keeps everything in appropriate folders and is easy to navigate around on as a teacher. This helped me stay sane when I was teaching my psychology course.
What do you dislike about the product?
There weren't many things about blackboard that I did not like. The only thing that I wasn't crazy about (and maybe this has changed) was that you did not get emails when an announcement was posted.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am teaching introduction to psychology using this course. My students really like it and it seems to do a great job.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a great tool to use! I would really recommend all schools use this. We have tried other learning platforms and they do not seem to be as great as Blackboard. I, as a student, thought it was very easy to use and keep track of my important class information and deadlines, and as an instructor, I feel that it was very easy to get into contact with students and upload important resources.
Excellent for College Classes
What do you like best about the product?
As an instructor, it is important for me to keep my classes and all my course content organized and accessible to my students. Blackboard Learn allows me accomplish both of these tasks easily. I love that I have the ability to create specific content folders wherein I can upload documents and videos for my students to access, and I love that I have a lot of space to do so! I am also so impressed with the wealth of resources available to import to my own class, like discussion boards and ready-made quizzes. I use these as templates and edit them so that they are tailored specifically for my class. Overall, I love Blackboard learn!
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it is difficult for me to figure out how to use Blackboard Learn. For example, it took me a while to be able to organize my gradebook so that it was to my liking. I also sometimes have difficulty copying course content from one class section to another. While I have been able to navigate these issues, I do wish there were tutorial videos available for Blackboard learn.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I solve the general problem of creating and organizing content for my students that is accessible and affordable. Blackboard learn allows me to neatly post and organize content for my students, and they have access to this content throughout the course of the semester. That being said, the benefits to using Blackboard learn are astounding.
