Quick, Painless, Simple

  • December 27, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The app is fluid, no lag whatsoever. Simple menu options as well. The formatting tools in the text boxes are great, like having a mini Microsoft processor built in my submissions.
What do you dislike about the product?
When I hit the back button on my phone, it exits the app vs. Going back to the previous page. The ability to create discussion boards is nice, but when you go into a certain discussion, getting back to the board takes 3 additional steps, the back button takes you elsewhere.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This is a great way to have students interact with each other, email anonymously, and share ideas via the discussion board. The idea and foundation are there but needs an overhaul of the functionality of the site, feels very early 2000's.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This program has come a long way since I First downloaded it. Nothing really to recommend, this is a great way to check your online grades and assignments.

BlackBoard Review

  • December 21, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
This software has really improved over the last few years to add more features (like blogs etc), be less buggy and add a good app interface. Used for the majority of courses I've taught. The grading interface has gotten much better and is a time-saving godsend. Also, it allows me to easily manage all of my courses. I am able to upload assignments, communicate with other students and instructors, and send mass emails to users.
What do you dislike about the product?
I really dislike how confusing it can be sometimes. Text that is blue isn't always obvious that they are clickable links. Also, I dislike the Blackboard app and how it makes you sign in every time you want to login. It gets frustrating and annoying when I have to do that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it at SJSU to help my students access their courses and submit their assignments. Makes it easier for us to get assignments and also is more eco-friendly. My TA also loves it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
One of the best LMS software out there. Would definitely recommend it.

What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about blackboard is it's ease of use. I am pretty technologically advanced but it is still easy to navigate MOST of the time.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes professors will put things in word folders that you may not feel is the appropriate place but one you find the file it's a little easier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sometimes I wish students could make suggestions as to the organization of files and folders because some teachers don't have a clue.

The product allows fairly simple directions on how to add new courses and assignments.

We went through a number of different course offerings and Blackboard still won out for us with the ease of use.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Look at everything out there and see what works best for you and the course offerings you will have. Everything has pluses and minuses when you come to the set up of the product.
