Website Creation and Management Made Easy
What do you like best about the product?
Blackboard Learn is very easy to use and the application itself presents a very professional product to the users. As a teacher, we use Blackboard Learn to post our classroom webpages. These pages are seen by parents, students, and community members. (Truly anyone in the world!) The webpages we create and use are functional and appealing. Students and parents navigate with ease and enjoy logging on to use our sites, thanks to Blackboard Learn.
What do you dislike about the product?
Creating and altering pages once they are on your site can be a bit difficult if your site contains multiple pages and links. Trying to organize a large site may take time and ultimately be more frustrating than leaving the links where they were. Nevertheless, this site faces that problem because you are capable of creating the site size that you want.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our district website and homepages are uniform and functional. We can contact one company to solve our tech problems, as well as assist one another in any small hiccups we may face.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use this across your district/company, not simply for one small portion of your organization.

Blackboard software in dry-erase board times
What do you like best about the product?
I like the fact that this software will keep track and tabulate grades for me which makes my end of semester efforts SO much easier than they were previously.
What do you dislike about the product?
As my school insists that I track attendance for all my classes, every semester I have to set up an Excel spread sheet to do this chore. It would be really nice if BB had this in the software somewhere easily accessible.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Posting handouts, lecture notes and even slide shows saves my school $ in paper and copying costs. Also, with all the necessary coursework available to the students online, they can no longer say that they "lost the assignment or handout" (they can still say that the dog ate their homework though).
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use as many online aids as possible when you start using this software, there's a pretty steep learning curve here.
Both a User and Teacher
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy it is to use the classroom, class connect sessions, and update students on their assignments and essays!
What do you dislike about the product?
The blackboard system can be a decent learning curve at first, which makes it difficult to use in the beginning. But, after learning it, it makes life easy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In an online high school, there are sometimes issues with engagement. We have found that Blackboard helps connect with students better and makes them more engaged.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be patient, learn it and you'll love it!
Easy to keep track of grades and assignments, schedules, and a million other student resources!
What do you like best about the product?
I think what I like best is the dashboard where all of the most relevant information is highlighted and easily accessible.
What do you dislike about the product?
I never struggle to use it, there is nothing I dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Blackboard as a student to access all of my class information easily and in order to stay on track with my classes, assignments, and professors.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you feel that you easily get overwhelmed with the amount of information to keep track of as a student or a professor, Blackboard easily keeps everything in one spot and is extremely user friendly.
good app to keep track of the class
What do you like best about the product?
BB is something used by most of the academic institutions. It aims to help students stay in the same level of teachers who will post slides, hw, quiz solution, exam preparation material on it. Students can also use it as a discussion panel to share thoughts. It is really fantastic.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing else I dislike the bb, if there will be something I hate, maybe they seem not to have a mobile app.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
sharing thoughts, keep track of the class
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Really great app to help your students stay at the same level.
Convenient site
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you are able to use this site to upload homework and it has a safe test where it reads the document and tests it against other submissions to see if people are cheating.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that when you get an announcement, it does not go away when you open it until you open it multiple times. I want the notification to go away as soon as i open it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use blackboard for the university of connecticut.
Simple and Easy
What do you like best about the product?
Blackboard allowed for easy assignment submission.
What do you dislike about the product?
The speed of the site was not always convenient.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has helped to manage different classes distincly and without confusion.
Great Tool to Learn
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you can take assessments and submit assignments on the same platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can glitch out often and assignments will not be submitted.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Not having to meet in class to distribute materials or collect assignments.
Many Options, Many Possibilities, Hard to Find Themq
What do you like best about the product?
Blackboard provides a platform for grading that gives options on options, from setting up a gradebook to setting up a group of students with a common interest, like pre-med, and allowing student to add themselves to that group to promote communication.
What do you dislike about the product?
Archaic and not user friendly. We switched Canvas, and only then did I realize the number of steps it took to do the same task in Blackboard. With blackboard, you will have to go through tutorials and youtube videos to demonstrate usability and function. With Canvas, the user-friendly platform allows for self-teaching almost without outside tutorial.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Like I said, the setting up a group of students with a common interest, like pre-med, and allowing student to add themselves to that group to promote communication is amazing with Blackboard. You can put things up as announcements, send emails, allow students to add themselves, and promote a community. Canvas is less intuitive with this.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would make sure your stakeholders can use tutorials and there be an extensive training before implementing. We switched to Canvas, and I actually didn't attend training, just learned it on my own. With blackboard, I had to utilize tutorials and help from support.
