Excellent way to interact with your classes

What do you like best about the product?
Blackboard's interface is easy to use and fairly standard from institution to institution. For students, the layout couldn't be more simple and to the point; and for instructors and administrators the customization tools help give class and department pages a personal touch without throwing students for a loop.

The mobile app also makes the Blackboard experience so much easier to interact with classes on the go and allow for students and professors to stay in touch without the need for bulky laptops and the need to search for wifi while out and about.
What do you dislike about the product?
The discussion boards feature could use some fine tuning. Internet Explorer and it's successor Microsoft Edge don't play well with the editing tools and often show correctly spelled words as misspelled and make it almost nearly impossible to fix on the users end.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Students enjoy Blackboard for it's ease of use and our professors and admins love it because of the wonderful grade book and submission features as well as the direct messaging and student database features; which help our professors do almost all of their class related work within the app itself.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I've seen other academic software, it doesn't beat Blackboard, not in the slightest. You owe it to your students and employees to give them a one-stop shop that works for them and not against them. Your students pay so much for classes and your instructors give their all day in and day out to teach; why would you give them sub-par software that's hard to use, requires training and re-training and no mobile apps?
