Best place to integrate everything!

What do you like best about the product?
As a student as well as a teaching assistant, I like blackboard in general. It is a best place for the professors and the students to communicate like the scores are uploaded, the grades are made visible as well as the assignments are made available to the students on blackboard. It can be even further changed to grant or deny permission according to their email addresses. The app version gives me notifications on the way when the assignment or any grades were posted on the blackboard for a particular subject. Interactive platform. Blackboard is great for providing a clear and organized view of all of the courses we take along with the work related training. It is easy to submit my work like assignments, projects, check deadlines as well on the course page and access course materials like pdfs, etc.It is also a great place to check our grades, progress and and stay updated with your progress in the course. It is definitely a required portal that every university must have for the students. It is good with IOS but the android version of the apps gives you lot of bugs or even gets frozen.
What do you dislike about the product?
It doesn't support all types of files like .tar, .c, .gz etc. there are lot of issues with the app specially, when I access it through my phone as my screen is much smaller and options on the app seem to overlap. I also can't scroll through the menu options properly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Blackboard helps me solving the problem of submission of my assignments or other documents as compared to emails which are less reliable and can have spam issues. It helps us to have everything in an orderly manner.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use the desktop version and not the app.

What do you like best about the product?
I love the ability for back and forth communication with my students, as well as the ability to provide guidelines, videos, and ways to submit their work. This software could literallly replace all traditional classrooms.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes documents get lost- not frequently, very rarely, but I've posted things that did not show, students have provided attachments that disappeared.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ability to have 24/7 contact, help and guidance for my students, even when I'm not physically available, they have a place to review my lessons and discuss with one another.

Blackboard Review

  • November 14, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
You can manage all course-related things in one place and give access permissions to TA and students. Also, Blackboard has great formatting. It organizes all the classes in a well-presented manner. Taking a quiz on the blackboard is very easy. Sorting through assignments and finding students to communicate also works very well. This eases out the student's work.
What do you dislike about the product?
I found the interface to be a little busy. When compared to "Canvas" I thought Canvas was a little easier to use. The discussion board option is a little awkward in how the conversations flow. I suppose this could be improved down the road.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it ASU to help students access their class information and see their grades and take quizzes. Have been using it for almost 4 years now.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Would definitely recommend. Also, the mobile app is pretty good too, So definitely go for it if you want to implement it in your university.

My Blackboard Experience

  • November 01, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate how easy it is to access important class information, all in one place. In addition, it is quite easy to post class materials, such as a syllabus and PowerPoint presentations. Moreover, my students find this application to be the most appealing way to distribute information to one another, as well as learn about specific classroom announcements.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing that I can think of that I dislike is the fact that there is a lot of maintenance during times that I need to access classroom content. If this construction could take place during less eventful hours, such as during the overnight hours.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are making it easier to communicate with students and professors. Important information is easily accessible to teachers and students, and announcements can be made in regard to important classroom events.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This software program is the most efficient way to share important classroom information between professors, students, as well as others involved in contributing to the classroom. It is easy to use and contains all the resources necessary to implement a successful class.
