All of My Professor Use This
What do you like best about the product?
I like how all of my classes assignments are on one dashboard - You can see everything, from grades to comments, to posts and discussions.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's nothing really I dislike about it. It's hard to read assignments / find assignments if the professor doesn't know how to use it and puts it in the wrong place.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It solves any confusion as to what assignments are due for each class. I'm a pretty forgetful person and each assignment shows a due date, which is great because now I don't need to remember when things are due.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I definitely recommend Blackboard to students and teachers because it is the easiest way to submits assignments and grades. If students have a question for the professor, they can write it on the forum and other students can see what is posted (just in case the students had the same question). Blackboard is pretty easy to use and I don't usually have a problem finding my assignments on here.

Blackboard has dramatically changed how school is done.
What do you like best about the product?
It is a phenomenal asset for those of us who utilize school online. The ease of access and the ability for real time grading and communication is incredible.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only part I dislike is the discussion boards. There should be a better avenue and format.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am solving all of my scholastic needs and learning how to utilize this tool for my own students.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get to know this site. This is the future of online learning. Take all of the time you can to familiarize yourself with this program. There are so many tools that go unutilized.
Blackboard Review
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about blackboard is that it creates a virtual learning environment for classes that are taken online through a university. It also is visually appealing and easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I dislike about Blackboard is that sometimes there are glitches in the systems.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Blackboard allows universities to transfer from traditional face-to-face classrooms to virtual online learning for convenience and ease.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend universities and high schools to use this software to show that their organization is flexible in terms of learning and classroom interaction. This may a useful tool to use in a learning environment for those who do not feel comfortable sharing ideas in a classroom but virtually instead.
Blackboard keeps me organized
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Blackboard has a robust gradebook where I can have weighted grades, drop low grades, categorize assignments, and keep my students up to date on how they are doing. I use the collaboration tools (especially the discussion board) on a regular basis.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that Blackboard does not remember my preferences for setting up things like assignments. I use the same settings almost all the time, and it would be nice if the system had a "standard settings" option so that I do not have to click the same boxes over and over again.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are training students to be ready for the real world. The real work requires technology so they are learning how to operate in the internet world.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a fairly intuitive program that keeps classes organized.
Been using Blackboard at 3 different universities and was a Blackboard trainer
What do you like best about the product?
I feel it is very easy to organize your classroom materials, keep track of students work and grading with rubrics.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not a lot of design flexibility. I would like to be able to add at least two columns so people don't have to scroll so much.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are making more online courses available in higher education. It is easy for students to access and teachers to access anywhere they are.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you look and try out everything that they have to offer. To many times people don't try out the tools.

Blackboard Learning Management System
What do you like best about the product?
Blackboard has many good uses. For me, I enjoy being able to submit assignments and develop quizzes that can be completed through the program. I also like how the program puts everything thing you need in one location for each class, including calendars, notes from teachers, direct access to email to teachers and other students, grades, video, audio, and specific assignments.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am sure they are working on getting the glitches out, but the system is often having do go down for updates on a regular basis. I also dislike how the system can be very sensitive at times and if you accidentally click off of an assessment or lose internet connection, you have to get the test restarted.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This program helps to put everything in one location. It also helps to eliminate the use of many sheets of paper and it helps to eliminate unnecessary meetings for one on one meetings.
Support Robust Teaching & Learning with Veteran LMS
What do you like best about the product?
Blackboard is a well-established learning management system with a long history of commitment to teaching & learning. The LMS offers a wide range of features and tools to support personalized learning and customized delivery of content, communication, and assessment.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface is starting to show its age and sometimes it take a few extra clicks (vs. drag/drop) to get things done. Data isn't always accessible without the right tools to query or license to extract. However, recent roadmap presentations reveal some promising developments
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're reducing our need to print out class materials by going green and posting documents in course shells. We're also meeting a parking problem by offering hybrid courses so classes can share physical space. Finally, we're reaching out to students who want to go to our campus, but can't because it's too far away, by offering online classes. Blackboard site is hosted, so we are benefiting from a very stable environment.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Speak often with your Customer Success Advocate, who is there to help ensure your institution benefits from all the resources, tools, and services associated with your contract and the Blackboard community at large. Take or teach a class that uses Blackboard and understand the role of the LMS in ensuring student success. Join your local Blackboard Users Group and ask questions, get feedback, and network with others in the community. Don't be afraid to open tickets or ask other Blackboard users for ideas and support.
Great platform for course content management.
What do you like best about the product?
As an educator and a student pursuing an advanced degree, Blackboard is essential for long-distance course content management and discussion.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the lag in the time it takes to upload documents.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This solves the problem of a lack of collaboration platform.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend trying other like platforms before deciding on Blackboard, as there may be other features provided by other platforms.
