BlackBoard - easy virtual platform for academics

  • October 30, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Blackboard is very customizable. I can directly grade the assignments online without having to download them which makes my job efficient. Blackboard has various features including ability to share documents, take virtual tests/quizzes, and communicate with your course instructor.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find some of my classes do not get archived after the end of the semester and that needs to change. It is very slow on mobile devices
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Blackboard brings great amount of information in one place in a great user interface. For someone who teaches multiple courses, it saves lot of time . With Blackboard, I can communicate and interact directly with students and sort out most of the problems without having to meet them personally.

What do you like best about the product?
I love being able to share and access all kinds of content, including text documents, videos, and emails among classmates, my instructor, and my own students. Students in the courses can easily share paper drafts for peer review and can have immediate grades and feedback on assignments.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like the ability to peer review and comment on classmates' drafts right in Blackboard.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
None.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use it as a repository for all course content. The students will thank you.

What do you like best about the product?
System that all students can use to access grades, course content, etc. it's pretty user friendly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Adding multiple content at the same time is extremely difficult. For us, an admin has to remove someone from the course and that is frustrating. Some of the wording on the site doesn't make much sense.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's extremely multi-purpose, so students understand the platform which is really good. There isn't a lot of reteaching how to use blackboard, and so many colleges use it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Update the user face.

It works and is simple but could be more user friendly

  • October 28, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It is simple and relatively easy to use
What do you dislike about the product?
There are too many ways for it to error out, for example, if you're taking a test and your page freezes or you have less than perfect internet, then it refreshes automatically which kicks you out of the tests.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's easy to have group discussions in a secure "location"
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a secure and user friendly program just be prepared to be understanding to the students who have connection issues or issues with tests/projects locking accidentally.

Necessary to survive college

  • October 27, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy it is to access notes, practice exams, and any other resources your professor might have posted on blackboard.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the site is undergoing maintenance. Though they do try to keep maintenance to limited hours to the night, it can still effect studying.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It makes it easy to communicate with professors and submit assignments. I don't worry if my assignment is in my professor's junk or spam box.
