Great online learning platform, makes the job easier.

What do you like best about the product?
The structure of the course is clear, and easy to navigate. Involved in no difficulty. I like the way I can see what the students can see from your hand. I enjoy the ease of setting up tasks and organizing the Grade Centre. The class can be divided into sub-categories and bonded. No teacher needs to join each class individually when a team is assigned to pick an alternative. I like students having all their grades on the website as it's really easy to write the code. I like to know how to send e-mails directly from the app to the students.
What do you dislike about the product?
Instructors have a different perspective and are often confused on their part, particularly in regulating what should and should not be seen by students. When it's not labelled it gets a little messy generating problems for testing and assignments. I don't like whiteboard accessibility technologies and without a guide, I don't understand how to use too many choices or resources. You have a lot of mistakes and it is difficult to handle them until you get used to them. Blackboard can be designed to make navigation easier for learners. In the first week of school this is a major concern.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Send in assignments for all online courses that I take. It's a gale. It's also helpful to track and set goals for the courses. If something new relating to the course is released, the notification system alerts, so that I don't miss something. That is a very useful alternative for classes with a large number of students. It makes monitoring their degrees easier for students, and enhances contact between students and teachers. You can connect Microsoft Outlook to the whiteboard and each person can send an email by selecting to send an email to the class to send an entire class.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Successful educational forum that has a large number of students. Using it first is a little hard but don't be afraid to use it. Having said that, I would suggest adding this software as it is complete. Take a Blackboard tour, if you're new to it. Get comfortable walking around and the options.

Robust platform.

What do you like best about the product?
Enables people to be understood. It offers a marvelous resource for students to exchange knowledge and class notes, whether in school or online. I like the structure of my classes at all times. All classes, syllabs, assignments, grades and other content posted by teachers can be viewed by the students. Tasks and comments can also be applied. At any time throughout the semester I like that students are able to monitor their performance and receive feedback on assignments and tests.
What do you dislike about the product?
I got no aversion. I have found Blackboard to be the best solution to meet students and teachers requirements compared to other learning management systems. It could, however, also cause important technical problems, such as web failure or application blockage. I believe that after they're done, your courses and your material disappear.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can remain accessible to my students by using the BlackBoard and make continuous learning easier for my students at times. The LMS is slick and simple to create content and users. BlackBoard Ultra, one of its newer features, comes with enhanced features. I'm addressing the distance learning problem. The main advantage is the integration of asynchronous classrooms and other devices such as Panapto in the app. It enables the clear communication of student goals and goals as well as making the learning interactive. All my courses and contents should be published and coordinated.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The LMS of choice would be highly recommended by me. It is a user-friendly platform both for professors and for students. It's a wonderful software, if you're in higher education or education. I recommend adding this system.

Teaching organization made easy

  • August 26, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Course organization is simple, easy to navigate. No complexity involved.
What do you dislike about the product?
Instructors have a different view and often gets confusing on their end especially in controls what students should see and what not to. Gets a little mess, while creating questions for quizzes and assignments when not tagged.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Submitting assignments for all the courses that I’m taking online. It’s a breeze. Monitor and setting goals for the courses is a helpful too. Notification system alerts if anything new is posted related to course, so that I don’t miss anything.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
When this software comes with school, login are the school email credentials. Always take a tour of bblearn if you’re new to it. Make yourself comfortable with navigating around and the options.

Excellent online learning platform.

  • August 18, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like how I can see from your side what students will see. I appreciate how easy it is to set up tasks and coordinate the Grade Center. You can separate and bind the class into sub-categories. No teacher needs to enter each class individually when selecting an option for a team when a team is assigned. I like students seeing all their grades on the platform, as they write the code it's very easy. I like to know how to send e-mails directly to students from the app.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like how difficult it is to navigate the problems, the accessibility of technology on blackboards, and I don't understand how to use too many options or tools without a tutorial. You have a lot of bugs, and before you get used to them it is difficult to manage them. Blackboard can be designed to make it easier for students to navigate. This is a major complaint in the first week of classes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I may teach additional students not attending a class otherwise. I love how socially anxious students interact and still feel comfortable with other people. Microsoft Outlook can be connected to the blackboard and each person can send an email by selecting to send an e-mail to the class to send a complete class. For classes with a large number of students, this is a very useful choice. It facilitates students tracking their degrees and improves communication between students and teachers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great platform for institutions with a large number of students. It's a bit hard to use first, but don't be afraid to use it. This being said, I would suggest that this program be introduced as it's completed.

User friendly platform.

What do you like best about the product?
Blackboard made it easier for people to understand. Whether it is in the classroom or online, it offers a wonderful resource that helps students to exchange knowledge and class notes. I like how my classes are structured throughout. All classes and programs, tasks, grades and other content published by professors can be viewed by students. They are also able to apply tasks and comment.
What do you dislike about the product?
It may also cause significant technical difficulties, such as not working the web properly or crashing the application. I think their courses and material will vanish once they have finished.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I tackle the problem of remote learning. The key benefit is asynchronous classrooms and other devices like Panapto are built into the app. In addition to making learning interactive, it enables clear communication of student objectives and objectives. I should have a place to publish and coordinate all my courses and their contents.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are in higher education or educational businesses, it's a wonderful software. I propose that this framework be introduced.

Blackboard is an ideal LMS

  • July 31, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Blackboard is an ideal Learning Management System (LMS) that meets all of my academic needs. Some of the features that I enjoy most are, the ability to store
a reasonable amount content (i.e. Powerpoint lectures, assignments, files, videos). Through the use of Blackboard i am also able to create an inviting virtual space to enhance student engagement via the Discussion Board tool. I often use the discussion feature to introduce relevant course content that may also be controversial. I have found that this is the best way to engage students.

Additionally, it is a useful LMS for the facilitation of assessments (e.g. tests and quizzes) and it integrates seamlessly with third party content providers (e.g Cengage, Pearson).

Students have shared that they like that they are able to monitor their performance at anytime during the semester and they are able to receive feedback on assignments and quizzes immediately.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not have any dislikes. Compared with other learning management systems I have found Blackboard to be the best in meeting both student and professor needs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Through the use of Blackboard I am able to remain accessible to students and facilitate continual learning at times that are most convenient for my learners. The LMS has a sleek design and is easy for content creators and users alike. One of its newest features, BlackBoard Ultra, comes with enhanced features. The one that I enjoy the most is Collaborate because it allows for a virtual meeting space within the Blackboard environment.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would highly recommend Blackboard as the LMS of choice. It is an easy to use platform enjoyed by both faculty and students alike.

Great Learning Platform

  • July 21, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's a very simple to use platform for discussions, coursework, and anything learning-based. The design is appealing and very easy to grasp in a short period if time.
What do you dislike about the product?
The one thing I would change about it would be the ability to upload more than one thing at time when submitting documents.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
BlackBoard Learn is a great tool for group discussions and knowledge checks instead of having meetings in person.

Great platform for learning.

  • July 12, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
You may split the class into sub-categories (teams) and bind them. When there is a team assignment, no teacher needs to enter all classes individually by selecting an option for a team. I like all of my grades at one point and it's very easy once I get the code down. I also like how you can directly send emails from the app to teachers.
What do you dislike about the product?
You have many bugs and you will find it hard to manage before you get used to them. Blackboard can be streamlined so that students can navigate more quickly. In the first week of classes, that's a major complaint.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
There is a possibility to link Microsoft Outlook to Blackboard and to send each individual an e-mail by selecting send to the class to send a complete class an e-mail. This is a very useful choice for classes with large numbers of students. It makes it easier for students to keep track of their grades, it also improves student-teacher communication.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great platform with a large number of students for institutions. Firstly, it's a little difficult to use but don't be afraid to use it.

Excellent for college students.

  • July 05, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
They contact me sometimes and I know that BlackBoard is closed for some time ( usually a couple of hours overnight) so that they can update them. As a consequence, BlackBoard has never been ineffective and can still be used. For my entire college career I used BlackBoard and it was never a problem. The best aspect of Blackboard has to be to quickly fulfill the mission, to know that it is delivered and to be able to use resources such as SafeLearn, which can see how well the work blends in with another person's work.
What do you dislike about the product?
I guess the only thing that I don't like about Blackboard is that you can't change it too much. I'm on the internet for several hours most days and I want my backdrop to be more than just a few bland colors.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I complete my online classes via BlackBoard. I'll do my talk posts, my quizzes, my grades, I'm able to directly mail my teacher from BlackBoard and much more. BlackBoard advantage is that everyone is in one spot. It is certainly user-friendly, since Blackboard makes it fairly easy to check your grades and contact teachers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want more tools to encourage students to achieve the best possible outcome, Blackboard is an choice. Please contact the support team if you have any problems with BlackBoard. They are highly effective and supportive.
