What do you like best about the product?
I like the accessibility and ease of use for most of the applications within blackboard. It is easy to learn how to do simple tasks, like post a new assignment to the course board or entering student grades.

Sometimes there were technical errors that made processes take longer. For example, I could see something I posted but the students could not and it was just a glitch

Student and educator accessibility to grades and assignments
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Once you learn the basics, it is easy to access

What do you like best about the product?
Blackboard is very simple to use and it is easy to add and revise courses if you are an administrator.

I think Blackboard could improve the overall look of their site and make it look a bit more modern.

We use Blackboard for training for employees as well as trainings that cost money for outside staff, so it's great that we can do both using one LMS.

Solid Product that Delivers

  • October 24, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The backend of Blackboard is very easy and intuitive to use. The backend is easy to navigate using clearly marked panels and panes.
What do you dislike about the product?
It requires some adjustment with the terminology. For example, they call different parts inside of a module, an app which can be confusing when you are looking to create new pages.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our district uses this for their website platform and it has been received fairly well.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend Blackboard to users. Choosing the right template will be the most important first step. That will allow your users to have a clean and intuitive site with the most up to date information they need right at their fingertips.

Blackboard review

  • October 21, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love how organized it is when it comes to keeping the courses separate and in them, different assignments and lecture material. The organizations you are a part of are also contained in a different section. So it basically makes browsing through your grades or uploading assignments or even studying for exams through lecture notes really easy
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes there are issues in opening the grades or assignment submission sections when you try to open it on Chrome (not on the app)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have been using this to upload my assignments, access class lectures, make announcements for the class where I am an SI Leader, access all student emails and complete my online training for my job.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Most of college students would be required to use blackboard to keep a track of their academic progress

Easy to use and Coordinate with Students

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love how user friendly this program is. I used it as a student in high school and as a teacher and it is so simple to navigate. It includes lots of great features like discussion boards, assessments, dropbox, and more. It saves me a lot of hassle as a teacher.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes a few of the features seem a little basic. It would be nice to be able to personalize just a tiny bit
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am much more time efficient and organized through blackboard

Blackboard, easy for students-- hard for some teachers

  • October 19, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Blackboard makes it so grades are visible to all students, and assignments can be submitted. Navigating blackboard for students can be easy, especially with the level of understanding this generation has for technology. The students enjoy the streamline service that blackboard provides, if a campus is fully integrated with blackboard, students have everything they need all in one place. It decreases the hassle of having multiple usernames, passwords and resources to log onto to complete an assignment.
What do you dislike about the product?
For teachers who are not accustomed to software used for learning purposes, blackboard can be confusing. Setting up the quizzes, assignments and uploading data into appropriate folders can be difficult for some.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Blackboard streamlines all teacher data and grades onto one site, instead of expecting students to use multiple different resources to complete their homework/tasks. It increases the rate of homework submission.

  • October 19, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

I love it how you can get the assignments and the submission on the same platform. You can also connect with your professors through emails and a forum like chat all in one website.

I don't like how it shows students the information that's just relevant to just teachers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Unified platform for communicating with instructors, accessing and submitting assignments, reviewing my grades and every other need of a college student who wants to track his/her progress.
