Its a Good Resource
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Blackboard is when professors actually utilize the program and post resources or lecture slides on their. This allows you never miss out on notes and feeling confident in the class because you have the resources available to improve your notes or take notes. This truly gives you a better chance of passing the class with a better grade. What is also nice is that it can send out warning on the computers if something happens. What is also great is when you have online classes it provides a sense of community for the class and allows you a way to interact with others.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I dislike about Blackboard is that we have glitches or the system goes down here and there. It can just be inconvenient and annoying that it has these issues at times and its never expected.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It was a management system to be able to connect students to professors and improve online courses. It provides a community for classes that do not meet in person.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great program just give it time and you can unlock its full potential.

Robust but outdated system
What do you like best about the product?
Blackboard seems to be quite reliable and the support is on point. It is very customizable out of the box and can be further enhanced with building blocks linking to third party services such as tutoring, presentations, etcetera
What do you dislike about the product?
Blackboard is still struggling to become mobile friendly. The dedicated app presents many issues and browser compatibility leaves much to be desired. Some areas are not intuitive enough for the students to figure out on their own.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We provide online course content to thousands of students through Blackboard. We have been using it on a SAS basis since 2017. Before that we hosted it in-house.
Easy connect

Easy to connect with professors and students and to gain access to files and assignments. Makes all information needed for contacting peers easily available.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not always the most user friendly. Some applications more difficult to access.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Very easy to connect with peers and have forums for conversation
Blackboard Experience
What do you like best about the product?
Collaboration and communication I so important, and in a mostly online classroom I thought the way we were able to communicate made it feel alot less remote.
What do you dislike about the product?
There were times when glitches happened and some of the posts would disappear leaving the conversation unknown ornot make sense but overall the system wrroked well. I didn't like the way grades are displayed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Again the communication when not able to always be in a physical classroom are so essential. Especially from a graduate school perspective.
Blackboard tool great for education

Blackboard is a great tool to manage educational classes. It's easy to follow, whether you're a student or an educator. It is organized in a simple manner that is aesthetically pleasing and easy to navigate. There are lots of possibilities available with Blackboard.
What do you dislike about the product?
The simplicity of Blackboard is almost too basic at points. It would be nice if some more advanced features were available at some points.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Business benefits of Blackboard Learn are that it allows colleagues and students to interact on a platform from the comfort of their own home or office. It allows private messages and whole group discussions to take place.
Blackboard Learn
What do you like best about the product?
I find that Blackboard is an awesome LMS. Everything is very organized and orderly. Easy to manipulate for adding information such as test, quizzes, and message boards. Also is very user friendly with regard to tallying my grades for my classes.
What do you dislike about the product?
The major issue I have had with the software is my inability to create my own content. However, I discovered that it was a feature that had been disabled by administrator. My other issue is that Blackboard doesn't have the best mobile interface.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
One major issue with our school is the inability to tap in the market of non-traditional student market. Blackboard gives us that flexibility by allow is to provide hybrid courses and so fully online courses.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Blackboard is an awesome package with great support. But make sure that whomever your campus administrator is gives creative freedom to the professors using the software.

School-wide system for professors

Everything is in one place. You can send mass emails, record attendance, input grades and provide commentary for assignments (even within the assignment submission screen).

There are times when maintenance might get in the way of the use, but these times are short.

I am now at another institution who uses 3 different programs to conduct the work that Blackboard does altogether.
4 years of very easy learning
What do you like best about the product?
I used blackboard learn all through college and found it very easy to navigate and function. The timeliness of assignments and how teachers and students could easily interact throughout discussion boards made learning and grading that much easier.

Occasionally the system would need a reboot while trying to reply or even start a discussion board. Other than that I’ve only had one other issue where it wouldn’t let me submit an assignment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allowed an entire college community of teachers, faculty and students to be interconnected to better the students learning abilities and improve effective communication.
