Blackboard is an ideal LMS
What do you like best about the product?
Blackboard is an ideal Learning Management System (LMS) that meets all of my academic needs. Some of the features that I enjoy most are, the ability to store
a reasonable amount content (i.e. Powerpoint lectures, assignments, files, videos). Through the use of Blackboard i am also able to create an inviting virtual space to enhance student engagement via the Discussion Board tool. I often use the discussion feature to introduce relevant course content that may also be controversial. I have found that this is the best way to engage students.
Additionally, it is a useful LMS for the facilitation of assessments (e.g. tests and quizzes) and it integrates seamlessly with third party content providers (e.g Cengage, Pearson).
Students have shared that they like that they are able to monitor their performance at anytime during the semester and they are able to receive feedback on assignments and quizzes immediately.

Brilliant Blackboard

It can cause major technical issues such as website not functioning properly or the app crashing

Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a wonderful software if you are in Higher Education or in education business
Easy to use and navigate
What do you like best about the product?
The format of Blackboard is great. You can share screens. make others a moderator so they can share screens. You can put people into groups and set a timer for them to come back into the main group. you can also add assignments and grades in BlackBoard. Can not ask for a better system for instruction, group meetings, breakout sessions.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have not seen anything that I dislike about BlackBoard. It does many things that help instructors teach. I wish that our district would not set limits on what each instructor is allowed to do and to use for virtual classes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is easy to upload assignments for the student to the teacher and vise versa. I did not realize how well BlackBoard works for all levels of instruction. Our school uses it for both teachers to student instruction and PD Professional development for teachers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a great program for education and other business that want to communicate with others. In education is great for assigning lessons and teaching tool that helps with distance learning. I have been an instructor and a student on BlackBoard so I have seen first hand it works for both instructor and students. So if you want a program that does multiple things this program is for you. I like to how you can do so many things with the program. BlackBoard is keeping up with times!
Using Blackboard in class to maximize student performance
What do you like best about the product?
I like the best that each class can be divided into subcategories (teams) and that those are linked together. When there is a team assignment, there is not need for a teacher to input all the grades individually, it can be done automatically selecting a team option.
What do you dislike about the product?
Blackboard could be simplified so that it is easier for students to navigate. That is a major complain in the first week of classes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In order to send a whole class an email, there is an option to link Microsoft Outlook to Blackboard and send everyone an email by selecting send to the class. This option is very helpful with classes that have a large volume of students.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Excellent platform for schools with large volume of students.
Awesome To Use During College
What do you like best about the product?
BlackBoard is constantly being worked on. Every once in a while they'll send me an email and make sure I'm aware that BlackBoard is shut down for a certain amount of time (usually a few hours during the night), so that they can do updates. Because of this, BlackBoard has never glitched for me and is always easy to use. I have been using BlackBoard for my entire college career and it has never been a hassle.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the only part of BlackBoard I dislike is the fact that you can't customize it too much. I'm on the page several hours most days and I would like if I had the option to choose more than just a few boring colors as my background.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My online classes are completely through BlackBoard. I do my discussion posts on there, my quizzes, I can view my grades, I can email my professor directly through BlackBoard and much more. The benefit of BlackBoard is that everything is in one place.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you ever have any issues with using BlackBoard, reach out to the support team, which is usually your University's Tech Center. They are extremely knowledgable and helpful.
Blackboard is accessible for all
