Blackboard a necessary learning tool

  • July 01, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The organization of blackboard is great. Both teachers and students do well with the ease of use and organization of blackboard. It is great how blackboard contains everything. You can upload videos, pictures, messages, have discussions, and so on.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is no google drive feature that would potentially allow for multiple people to collaborate on a document. It can also break down sometimes which can be frustrating. It doesn't let you upload videos frequently due to a cut off on file size.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Moving class from in-person to online in an effective way. It helps people world from all around the world remotely. It is a good resource for students and educators. The benefits are so vast in helping students to learn online with different tools.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is good for uploading assignments, having timed tests, and recording live videos.

Meh

  • June 30, 2020

What do you like best about the product?
It is a more secure version of zoom, easy to use but harder to hack.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sharing slides by professors. This function would be much improved if there were a way for you to give students the power to advance and go back in slideshows. TopHat does a good job of this, but it doesn't have a video function so I suggest stealing their platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm not solving any problems? It was a nice alternative when COVID first happened, but now school's are looking to streamline and settle into one platform. I doubt this will be it.
