Crucial for calculating marks and contacting students
What do you like best about the product?
That the gradebook calculates running totals through the semester, and that I don't have to do the math. Also, that I can post announcements and send emails to all students simultaneously.
What do you dislike about the product?
That the built-in plagiarism checker (Safe Assign) does not catch the majority of plagiarism. I have to use an outside software for that purpose.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Instant communication with students, and saves me answering many emails and questions about grades.
Useful but took some getting used to
What do you like best about the product?
Can easily provide students with materials (although I didn't use this feature much). Email notifications about when grading was due was very useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Navigation was complex at first and took some getting used to. Mostly I used it for grading student's assessments and overall commitment throughout each school term. I found the drafting and saving reports difficult and often things did not save and weren't sent to the department head.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Providing a group of students with learning materials. However I mostly taught individual private lessons so it wasn't best optimised for this kind of teaching.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
A guide or training session would be useful!
Blackboard
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ability to see assignments and interact directly with the moderator versus sending emails. This portal is helpful with getting questions answered which is a time saver and lets me complete what is need much quicker.
What do you dislike about the product?
Discussions can be hard to navigate at times as well as adjusting the settings. However, it may be able to be adjusted on the administrating end.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Training is easier to complete, I did not have a problem completing or have any technical issues when using it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Navigation is simple and straightforward, use that to your advantage when utilizing the program!
You cannot go wrong with the Blackboard Learn Android App
What do you like best about the product?
The Learn Android App is perfect. Intuitive, easy to use, user-friendly. Highlights everything that is important and has a clean, organized UI.
What do you dislike about the product?
The website is a little different and more different to navigate on a mobile browser. But the perfect app makes up for it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it for a class in my University. It supports announcements, uploading relevant documents, gives a place to create a submission space for Assignments with multiple options with regards to number of submissions. It is thoroughly efficient and useful.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely go for it.
Blackboard Learn - User Experience
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Blackboard is always accessible. You can log into the platform and see announcements from professors and colleagues at any time of the day. It also has a discussion platform, for people to communicate. The dialogue aspect of blackboard is the most valuable aspect of the program.
What do you dislike about the product?
If I were to add anything to Blackboard, I would add a video feature - where people could engage in video chats in discussion boards. In addition, when first starting with the program, it can be difficult to navigate. So, if there were a way for the program to do a walk through of the site, and where things can commonly be found, it would make it more user friendly. In addition, there should be features to make it customizable. It could also be improved by linking with other platforms such as google calendar.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Blackboard has been pivotal in addressing the problem of student user accessibility to material, especially in cases where users cannot physically meet, but would still like to contribute to the work tasks at hand. One of the benefits of using Blackboard is that all of the people within a team or on the same page, and have a similar viewing platform.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would have the potential users of the program go through a training together, in which they have a set time to work on navigating the platform in a shared space.
User friendly GUI
What do you like best about the product?
I like how black-board has all classes organised and it is easy for me to choose one of the classes I am enrolled in and view details about it. The best thing is that I have it clearly marked which classes I take as a student and which classes I TA for.
What do you dislike about the product?
It'd really be helpful if Black-board worked as well even on android phones. I am not well versed with computer knowledge therefore It's difficult for me to point out how exactly the Android app for black-board can be made better but all I can say is that app is not user-friendly and my phone hangs when I try to use it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it both as a student to view my grades and also as a TA to put up my student's grades. As I mentioned previously, it's benefits are that it helps me keep everything organized.
Black board learn
What do you like best about the product?
It is easy to communicate With classmates and professors as well as post submissions.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes if a professor has loaded to much to the main page of The course it freezes
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows me to communicate with my professor and follow a guide that’s provided.
Works well, but limiting
What do you like best about the product?
Blackboard is an excellent platform for educators and universities looking to provide students with well organized online resources.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to see some features for educators become easier to utilize. Features like only including grades for certain assignments for certain students is a bit more difficult than it could be. Having the ability to customize class pages more would also be beneficial.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Blackboard allows us to provide students with resources that they would otherwise not be able to utilize outside of class. Students are able to take their classes with them, subsequently having more opportunities to study and learn. I am also able to upload lessons and assignments online, cutting down on paper usage.
Efficient platform for all things school!
What do you like best about the product?
My favorites about BB are accessing all notifications in one page on a dashboard.
What do you dislike about the product?
It’s a little difficult to find things if you are new
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Communication is much more efficient thru BB
