Well-equipped LMS with great functionality

  • July 26, 2016

What do you like best about the product?
Even if Blackboard's LMS doesn't have the built-in features you are looking for, it offers a great flexibility in allowing you to develop or purchase from other developers the tools that you need. When Blackboard realizes that a tool is in high demand, they look to integrating it with their existing platform. Blackboard makes it easy to use these tools to provide a valuable learning experience to students who might not be able to make it to face-to-face classes, which is important for those who live in rural areas.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface is not the most user-friendly. It could be cleaner and more efficient, and easier to learn. A training/tutorial system is required to get the most out of Blackboard. Everything takes longer than it should, and can be quite frustrating for users to learn.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are currently solving the problem of having lots of students enrolled in different systems to take classes from the same University system. Blackboard has offered us a simple solution that has saved us money and made the learning process more efficient and streamlined for students.

Blackboard Review

  • July 06, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I am also a graduate student on top of working for a university. So, I have experience in using BlackBoard in both capacities. I think as a student it is very user friendly and allows discussion with classmates when we aren't in class. As a professional it makes it easy to keep up on training required for work.
What do you dislike about the product?
That I have to pay for the app. I won't do that, I just log in on my browser on my phone. It would be nice for the app to be free.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It keeps us all connected and ensure we stay up to date on trainings such as Title 9.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a great product and seems to be on par with other products in the field.

What do you like best about the product?
I like how everything for the courses we offer can be put on blackboard and be accessible to our long-distance learners.
What do you dislike about the product?
It sometimes is very slow and can really use an update.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Long-distance students can now do everything for their classes online through Blackboard and don't have to struggle to get to the campus in person.

Blackboard meets expectations

What do you like best about the product?
blackboard made it easy for me to keep track of all of my assignments, grades, and updates. the app for iOS is also great. it also helped me contact my classmates, as their emails were provided in the class, making it convenient.
What do you dislike about the product?
if anything, it wasn't as simple as it could have been. there were many features that seemed unnecessary for what i used it for. additionally, it seemed like it wasn't organized as well as it could have been. for example, student grades was in the tools section.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
solving communication between a professor and classmates. benefitting from availability of information.
