BlackBoard Review
What do you like best about the product?
BlackBoard is very user-friendly for both faculty and students. Also, it can be accessed both on and off campus, and from a mobile phone too.
Grading is really easy and can be done BlackBoard, without me having to download the submitted assignment. This saves time. Also, one more important aspect is that you can check for plagiarism through one of the options offered for assignment submission.

What do you dislike about the product?
At times it can be tricky to set up things like group page, but I have found that our BlackBoard technical services have always been able to walk me through anything I'm having trouble with. Also, sometimes difficult reality is that "upgrades" often take place which shuts down access to BlackBoard mostly during 12:00 AM which is the prime time for students to submit their grades.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it with my classes to make an online portal for students to submit their assignments and get grades for their classes.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is one of the best software out there to use for online coursework.

A student’s best friend!
What do you like best about the product?
It is easily accessible and a great tool for both students and teachers alike. You can check grades, assignments, and even communicate with all of your classmates using one platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
It may just be me, but it took me a little bit to learn how to use it. I believe that instructors should be better trained so that they can aide heir students when they have questions. I believe schools should also use blackboard and not several other platforms because that just creates more work for everyone.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Staying up to date with grades, feedback, group discussions. Etc.
Very useful!
What do you like best about the product?
I have used Blackboard in the past while Teaching at Temple University and it was a great tool. Especially the phone app.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wasn't able to upload spreadsheets of grades.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used for teaching and it was good.
Blackboard for Teaching
What do you like best about the product?
Blackboard alerts students when they have an assignment due and lets teachers know when items need to be graded.
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't figured out how the system can grade multiple choice quizzes automatically.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am able to give quizzes online rather than using class time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Using Blackboard gives instructors the benefit of assigning work online. You are able to set date and time-frames for when assignments are available and when they are due. Students receive alerts when assignments are posted and professor are alert when assignments "need grading." The grading system is setup so that grades can be exported out to appropriate site to be sent to registrar. You can post syllabi, assignments guidelines, and send group emails.
Blackboard excellent for all your class needs
What do you like best about the product?
Blackboard offers a wide range of options for the educational sector, including customized pages for each class, the ability to duplicate an entire class' page (if you have multiple sections for the same class), and the ability to have students submit their work via SafeAssign.
What do you dislike about the product?
Blackboard is still mostly html-based, and therefore does not have as many smooth edges as other software programs. It has a limited number of options for fonts, graphics, and other visuals. However, it is sufficient enough to get the job done.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Blackboard enables professors to communicate with their students using one platform. Plus, it interfaces with the SSO of our other software systems, which enables students to have one username and password for all of the systems they interact with.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's great for universities to use for all their educational needs, particularly classes, faculty/staff senates, etc.
Blackbaud for Accounts Payable
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Blackbaud is that it is super user-friendly. Each module (they are separate) are also user-friendly.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I dislike the most about Blackbaud is the 1099 function. It is convoluted and hard to follow. I wish they would simplify this.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Blackbaud for Education Edge and for Financial Edge. We use it for collecting money from student families, we use it to pay our bills. We use it to manage our general ledger. The benefits of this program is that everything is there you just have to change the module.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Please make sure you weigh your pro and cons especially with the different modules. Some do not interface well.

Great experience with Blackboard as both instructor and as a grad student.

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.

Use it as a repository for all course content. The students will thank you.
