What do you dislike about the product?
- Annoying lockdown function that automatically logs out user after 30 minute of inactivity. Please at least give me the option to change the amount of time before logging me out or prompt a check box to confirm if I want to log out or not.
- Does not have an autosave feature. I have many time lost my work in the process either because of network error or the site automatically log me out without saving my work first. Major annoyance.
- Notification should be organized by subject first, then chronological order to make it easier to keep track of and find. Also new notifications sometimes doesn’t show up in the control panel.

I am currently using Blackboard as a companion tool to study at George Brown College. This include receiving, viewing and archiving learning materials for every courses; receiving notifications and messages from instructors, professors and the School; tracking dates and time for various different events using the calendar function; collaborate with other students in my course, group and also with the professors; carry out group tasks using the group work functionalities. This website helps my everyday learning at the college and helps bringing pretty much any tools i needed for my study into one platform. When correctly implemented learning with Blackboard can be a lot of fun and can get a lot easier for me to get everything I need. This help me achieve better result in my study and simplify the process in doing so.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you can overcome the slight learning curve to fluently use the platform’s functions and spend some time to navigate them, you are going to appreciate the many applications and functionalities that it provide. The ability to integrate with other learning and teaching tools like McGraw Hill open up more possibilities for you. There are some quirks and pretty big annoyance such as the auto log out and the complete lack of autosave but these can be easily fixed in the future. This platform will help you simplify your learning and teaching experience and is a step in a good direction for the new age of modern education.
