Blackboard
What do you like best about the product?
I like that there is a way to communicate with everyone in your course, which allows for easy discussions and questions. I really like that you can access a variety of different information and that it will either pop up in a different place such as google drive, Microsoft word or that you can just view it in another tab.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes there is a possibility for user error if an instructor does not open an assignment correctly or make it public to view.

It allows students to have easy access to information and a way to communicate all in one place.
College Experience

Collaboration is an awesome aspect of Blackboard Learn. The ability to share and review files.
You Need BlackBoard!
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you can manage organizations and classes. It is almost limitless with what you can do! From online tests, to work teams, and announcement. Great for any form of classroom structure or organization like Residence Halls, Class of Groups, etc. It has great tools for organizing classwork and extra activities. You can also customize the layout and look based on your institution! It is great for transfer students especially if they are used to this platform.
When using this for more than just classrooms, students are really able to see and understand how versatile blackboard is. I use this for announcements for my residence hall, espcially for documents of important info like student handbooks, housing polices, etc.

What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, I love blackboard. Every system has its downfalls though. It has a lot of features which is great, but so many go unused because you cant always figure it all out. I think especially for students a blackboard training course, specifically structured for the particular institution would be great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Building courses, online courses, work group, student organization groups, residence halls, etc.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take the time to learn this product. It is best to get an entire department, college, institution on board for the sake of the students. Having all their courses and organizations run on the same platform helps give consistency and ease of use during a stressful period in their lives. Additionally, having set guidelines for faculty so they are using the platform in the best way!
Blackboard your one stop shop for grades, assignments, even tests!
What do you like best about the product?
I love the fact that teachers can easily post a message and have it not only show up on everyones blackboard site but also in everyones email. My teachers utilize this feature quite often. Also love the convenience of the app.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not really like that you cannot view everything on the app that you can review on the desktop site. Sometimes if I use the app too much I feel like I miss important things.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Students can easily see their letter grade they currently have in the class and they also can see the exact percentage they have in the class instead of having to ask the instructor every time they would like to check their grades.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend that after each semester is over you use the "hide" feature in order to hide the previous classes or else your screen gets pretty busy.
Blackboard is okay
What do you like best about the product?
Blackboard is okay. There are features that it is missing, and there are glitches that can create stress. Overall, it gets the job done, though.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes there are glithces. I'd also like more functionality with the gradebook.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Blackboard allows me to organize my courses and for students to have one place for all their resources.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Many features can help you, but be prepared to adjust for errors.
Changes are for the better.

Appreciate recent updates, which make it much easier to navigate. I have used both Blackboard Learn and Converge, and Blackboard is much more user friendly in my opinion.

I have no dislikes in regards to this product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The design is simple and it makes communication and class engagement much more accessible and enjoyable.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I have used Blackboard Learn at two different universities, and Converge at another. Blackboard is the better option.
Blackboard Learn Reveiw
What do you like best about the product?
I like the many options for creating a variety of activities for students. I like that Blackboard makes it easy for instructors and admin to follow. Blackboard is a great platform for students of all ages. We cater a lot to older students because our program is all online and they have reported all good things. The classes are easy to use consistency in because everything is/ can be based on a template.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that accessibility is limited based on your role. I dislike that as an admin, I control almost all of Blackboard for my online faculty and they have to come to me to change anything. I do not like that Blackboard has glitches often.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Blackboard learn to solve the problems of online learning. Blackboard has created a tremendous platform for students of all ages to use with ease.
Great way to organize class content
What do you like best about the product?
Blackboard is a great platform for organizing class content for students to access. The ability to organize readings and other handouts in separate modules is especially helpful for teaching online courses, though it can also be helpful for face-to-face classes as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
While Blackboard makes organizing content easy, it can sometimes be difficult to set up and use. It is relatively easy to use on the student's end, but the course set-up as an instructor is not particularly user-friendly. I have taken training on using Blackboard and still do not feel that I can figure out how to do everything I want to with it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Blackboard primarily for organizing class content, keeping up with student grades, and facilitating discussion boards. Using it for student grades is particularly helpful as it provides a place for me to keep and calculate grades and also provides a place for students to find their grades as soon as I submit them, reducing e-mails about grades. I also enjoy Blackboard's discussion board format where students can post anonymously in discussion boards I choose or have to post in other discussion boards before they can read posts, making it easier to ensure students are posting their own work. Blackboard's link with SafeAssign is also helpful, as it provides a quick and easy way for me to assess whether students are plagiarizing their work and to what extent.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Blackboard is a great platform for organizing and presenting content for a course, but I would suggest that instructors take a tutorial on how to use it as well as give students a walkthrough as it can be confusing and difficult to use without training.
