Necessary to survive college
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy it is to access notes, practice exams, and any other resources your professor might have posted on blackboard.

Sometimes the site is undergoing maintenance. Though they do try to keep maintenance to limited hours to the night, it can still effect studying.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It makes it easy to communicate with professors and submit assignments. I don't worry if my assignment is in my professor's junk or spam box.

Great across different devices
What do you like best about the product?
I am able to open Black board on my ipad, phone and computer at the same time without issues. Whenever there is a grade update or a new assignment posted, it sends me notifications not only to my email address, but to my phone as well. I can also email my entire class from here and makes it easy to submit assignments.

I wish they calendar was more friendly. I wish all the assignment that are posted would should up on the calendar automatically.

I use it to complete my assignments and have used it for the past 6 years. I also use it to communicate with my instructors and teammates.

A flexible online classroom!
What do you like best about the product?
Compared to other learning management systems, such as Canvas or eCollege, Blackboard seems to be the most customizable. With Blackboard, you're not obligated to format your course into modules. Modules can be very restricting depending on the content or flow of the class, so having the freedom to create an open style (non-modulated) is very beneficial.. Not only am I able to organize the course how I want, but there are always ways to customize the design and feel, plus there are a plethora of add on extensions that can be integrated into the course.
What do you dislike about the product?
The internal e-mail systems has some hiccups. For one thing, it's not placed in an easy-to-access location on the page. In order to e-mail students, or groups of students, I have to click through a series of subfolders within the Course Management section. Likewise, when I send an e-mail through Blackboard, it doesn't default to also send me a copy. Unless the small checkbox is selected, there will not be any type of record that the e-mail was sent. Lastly, I wish there was a more detailed log about when students accessed the course...as it stands, you can only see when they last logged in. It would be nice to have a full record of their sign-ins in order to establish a pattern of time management.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm in the business of higher education, so Blackboard provides me with a way to teacher students with online or hybrid content. The benefits are that I've formatted my course to not have a textbook, and instead provide all of the required materials directly in the course in the form of videos and PDFs. This saves students money!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Dedicate a day to building a course from a blank shell. It's the best way to learn all of the tricks Blackboard can do, though there is an excellent library of support available online as well.
Blackboard is a must for my college course work and communication
What do you like best about the product?
I like that I can log in and see all the classes I am taking on the main screen. Announcements appear under each class so I can quickly see if there is any important information. Test taking and home submission also make this a very useful tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are only a couple of things that I have noticed especially at my university. mainly the fact that some of my classes do not get archived after the end of the semester. Some of the classes are not very organized and finding information is difficult sometimes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In addition to being a student, I also work for my university. My employer uses Blackboard to organize training on certain aspects of my job. Currently we have training videos in a special section for us to watch.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Very useful tool for classes. Easy to take tests and to submit homework assignments.
