Complicated initially, often frustrating
What do you like best about the product?
It has a lot of applications and a lot of online space. You can also use it to upload course materials and docs, and create annotations. Useful also to collect students' info, and contact them directly via email generated by BB.
What do you dislike about the product?
Slow; categories are counterintuitive; often feels like you have to go through several steps for nothing. Could be way simpler overall
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Teaching needs like having a grading roster or course blog. Those are ok.

Easy to use, online archive of learning materials
What do you like best about the product?
Blackboard serves as an online archive of all learning materials conveniently organized by courses and subdivisions within. Documents, assignments, and quizzes are all easily accessible. Plus, there’s a mobile app so you can access blackboard from anywhere.
What do you dislike about the product?
The user interface could be enhanced to be cleaner and easier to use. The embedded window for assignment submission occasionally alters formatting. The website also doesn’t allow for instructors to post embedded videos or pdfs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Blackboard solves the problem of distributing learning materials from instructors to learners in an organized fashion all in one place — a virtual curriculum. It has eliminated daily paper hand outs, aggregated all materials of the same category or topic in place (ex. materials for cardiovascular physiology or quizzes for anatomy class), and allowed universal and immediate access to this virtual curriculum.
