setup with a smile

In 10 minutes I was able to setup a Blackboard Learn instance. In the past this would take hours of OS installation, Oracle install, then getting all the pieces in the right places. This services makes developing apps for Blackboard Learn a breeze.

Great service.

Great Product for Educational Purposes

  • November 29, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Blackboard allows me to easily manage all of my courses. I am able to upload assignments, communicate with other students and instructors, and send mass emails to users. I have used this software at four different institutions, and the continuity throughout the system regardless of institution allows undergraduate, graduate, and professional students to seamlessly adjust at different institutions.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not much that I don't like about Blackboard. The Live Sessions feature can be a little wonky at times.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
From a staff perspective, I am able to provide training sessions through Blackboard.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Blackboard is a great resource, especially for university/college students, staff, and faculty. The system allows faculty to monitor student interaction, track grades, and interact with students virtually. Staff can use the system to create groups, provide training modules, and take quizzes. Students can email their classmates through the system to organize study groups.

The best educational tool for your students

  • November 29, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Blackboard is user-friendly. Very flexible to post student material, announcements and even do exams online. You can easily assign different permission levels to faculty and students.
Weights can be added to exams and assignments, thus adding up to the full course grade.
Easy to navigate and compatible with any browser.
The application can easily be configured to connect to the LDAP. And it is mobile friendly!!
What do you dislike about the product?
It is hard to mention weaknesses in the functionality of the application. I would suggest a more colorful interface.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Blackboard eases the collaboration between student and teacher. Students can attend classes through BB collaborate tool. They can post their assignments and exams, add notes, do exams and get all these graded.
The answer key can be added to the BB exam for immediate correction and display of the grade after it is submitted.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I believe it is worth trying. i recommend educational institutions to contact blackboard and ask for a demo, as well as possible offers.
