Easy to use, online archive of learning materials
What do you like best about the product?
Blackboard serves as an online archive of all learning materials conveniently organized by courses and subdivisions within. Documents, assignments, and quizzes are all easily accessible. Plus, there’s a mobile app so you can access blackboard from anywhere.
What do you dislike about the product?
The user interface could be enhanced to be cleaner and easier to use. The embedded window for assignment submission occasionally alters formatting. The website also doesn’t allow for instructors to post embedded videos or pdfs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Blackboard solves the problem of distributing learning materials from instructors to learners in an organized fashion all in one place — a virtual curriculum. It has eliminated daily paper hand outs, aggregated all materials of the same category or topic in place (ex. materials for cardiovascular physiology or quizzes for anatomy class), and allowed universal and immediate access to this virtual curriculum.

Blackboard Learn review
What do you like best about the product?
It's very easy to access classes and very well organized for the professor to post material.
What do you dislike about the product?
It does sometimes glitch, and there is no accessibility feature for text to speech.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Very organized and easy to access all materials and assignments. In addition, it has a discussion board that's very helpful for collaboration
user friendly
What do you like best about the product?
I like the way how they are able to put together a lot of things in one single platform without messing things up. This web service is neat. Even the mobile app version is very user-friendly. You need very zero prior knowledge to get along with this tool. It is a great place to keep your students updated about their progress in their classes. I am a Ph.D. student working as a TA. I can check my progress on my graduate courses on Blackboard. At the same time, I can also manage the Labs that I am teaching. I can notify my students, manage their grades all on the same platform. Moreover, the security is very good in this tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing I dislike about blackboard. However, they can improve the GUI on their Android app version. The downloadable version of the grade section can be improved as well. Whenever I try to download my students' grades on a spreadsheet, it gets a bit messy. But that can be excused.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In the University of Arkansas, all enrolled students and faculties use Blackboard. This serves as a digital interface between the students and faculties. If a class gets cancelled, professors can notify students using Blackboard. The app version allows the students to get notifications instantly. Students can check their assessments using Blackboard. I normally use this platform to grade homework and lab reports of my students. They can submit their reports using blackboard as well.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a very good tool that can be used for academic purposes. I will highly recommend this product to all the Universities and College programs.
Easy Nagivation with Blackboard Learn for college
What do you like best about the product?
The best part of using a software such as Blackboard Learn, is being able to group all the courses into one website for easy and quick access.. It makes it easy for students to go to a course in Blackboard and have all the information a professor has in to review online instead of having the professor print any necessary information students need to know.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you are new to using Blackboard Learn, it can be kind of confusing and difficult to navigate through and learn the basic of the tabs. Each professor creates and sorts their documents and other mataterials in different ways.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sometimes there are problems with being in the middle of a quiz and the timer incorrectly running. IT is working on fixes for that.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For professors that don't use Blackboard, it is a great and easy way to put all the course work in a file.
Great for Students
What do you like best about the product?
I like that all of my classes and coursework is all in one place and it’s so convenient to be able to organize my work!
What do you dislike about the product?
I don’t like that sometimes the professor doesn’t grade assignments so in the grade book on Bb, it doesn’t reflect our current grades.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Blackboard Learn has helped the professors at my university with organizing student work and curriculum content being available for students.

easy to use and easy to teach someone else how to use

You Need BlackBoard!
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you can manage organizations and classes. It is almost limitless with what you can do! From online tests, to work teams, and announcement. Great for any form of classroom structure or organization like Residence Halls, Class of Groups, etc. It has great tools for organizing classwork and extra activities. You can also customize the layout and look based on your institution! It is great for transfer students especially if they are used to this platform.
When using this for more than just classrooms, students are really able to see and understand how versatile blackboard is. I use this for announcements for my residence hall, espcially for documents of important info like student handbooks, housing polices, etc.

What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, I love blackboard. Every system has its downfalls though. It has a lot of features which is great, but so many go unused because you cant always figure it all out. I think especially for students a blackboard training course, specifically structured for the particular institution would be great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Building courses, online courses, work group, student organization groups, residence halls, etc.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take the time to learn this product. It is best to get an entire department, college, institution on board for the sake of the students. Having all their courses and organizations run on the same platform helps give consistency and ease of use during a stressful period in their lives. Additionally, having set guidelines for faculty so they are using the platform in the best way!
Blackboard software in dry-erase board times
What do you like best about the product?
I like the fact that this software will keep track and tabulate grades for me which makes my end of semester efforts SO much easier than they were previously.
What do you dislike about the product?
As my school insists that I track attendance for all my classes, every semester I have to set up an Excel spread sheet to do this chore. It would be really nice if BB had this in the software somewhere easily accessible.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Posting handouts, lecture notes and even slide shows saves my school $ in paper and copying costs. Also, with all the necessary coursework available to the students online, they can no longer say that they "lost the assignment or handout" (they can still say that the dog ate their homework though).
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use as many online aids as possible when you start using this software, there's a pretty steep learning curve here.
Both a User and Teacher
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy it is to use the classroom, class connect sessions, and update students on their assignments and essays!
What do you dislike about the product?
The blackboard system can be a decent learning curve at first, which makes it difficult to use in the beginning. But, after learning it, it makes life easy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In an online high school, there are sometimes issues with engagement. We have found that Blackboard helps connect with students better and makes them more engaged.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be patient, learn it and you'll love it!
