Anthology Blackboard Leads the Way
What do you like best about the product?
Anthology Blackboard is leading the way to an AI-empowered future in higher ed that is founded on their Trustworthy AI approach and the AI Policy Framework. Blackboard (in partnership with Microsoft) provides powerful AI assistance for course design, rubric, test, and content development--even innovative AI conversations for learning--but it insists on human control of AI every step of the way and safeguards individual, personally created content from being used without consent.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are always things that could be impmroved with any product--from refinements (like better drag-and-drop) to major overhauls (like huge improvements to Ultra docs), and I would like to see some of those improved sooner rather than later. However, the Anthology Blackboard Idea Exchange offers clients the opportunity to suggest improvements and enter ito dialogue with designers and product managers while other Blackboard users discuss and vote on the suggestions--and humdreds of those ideas have been implemented in Blackboard already. Amazing!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Blackboard provides a powerful yet easy-to-learn platform for faculty to ccreate and deliver engaging learning experiences, and for students to engage in those experiences and demonstrate their learning.
Blackboard Rocks!

The only downside is we haven't moved tto Ultra yet and I know that not all of our faculty and not going to like the idea of change.

Ultimately, the move to Ultra is going to help our faculty maintain ADA compliance even more than Ally currently does.

Universal Design
Now is the time to Switch to Blackboard Ultra by Anthology
What do you like best about the product?
This is not your father's Oldsmobile. Blackboard Ultra by Anthology has successfully made the shift from a clunky, inacccessible LMS to a well designed, accessible, streamlined course home for students and instructors. After trippling their development resources, Anthology is now leading the pack in learning management systems. The best thing is that students 'get it.' There is no confusing navigation inolved. This LMS comes with a clean design and industry leading AI-enhanced features that will allow instructors to focus on the things that matter.
It plays well with others! All of the major publishing tools and LTI integrations are available. The new LTI standards in use with Ultra allows for deep and seamless integration for students and faculty alike. Switching to Ultra is a breeze. Anthology know has an Ultra Adoption toolkit that makes implemenetation a much more manageable process that tyring to go it alone.
In summary. Now is the time to switch to Blackboard Learn Ultra by Anthology. If you are looking to making course content more accessible to your students, making the most of your instructor's time, and taking the step into next-level course management, then I highly encourage you to take the plunge!

What do you dislike about the product?
Note: Most of my dislikes about Blackboard learn are already on their roadmap for improvement. In the past two years, Anthology has been really reponsisve to client feedback, so we look forward to these frowns being turned 'upside down' in the future!
- lack of embedded images/links in emailed course announcement
- inability to post announcements to specific groups
- no subject on course messages
- Ally doesn't check HTML blocks on Ultra documents
Again many of the things I think are 'missing' are already on the roadmap....not evertything can be developed at the same time.
My one other 'disllike' is also being worked on. We have had more than one change in Tier one support over the past few years (as is expetcted when a company gets folded into another comapny). There have been some stumbles and growing pains along the way in front-line support and communication. As Anthology and Blackboard continue to evolve, I expect this to ameliorate.

We only use the accessibility module now.
A logically set out and intuitive platform

I find the marking rubrics hard to work with
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
