(Original )Information
What do you like best about Blackboard Collaborate?

By being integrated into the LMS, Collaborate allows seamless conferencing between students an instructors. It also removes the need for students to find an agreeable videoconferencing platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blackboard Collaborate?

Unfortunately, Collaborate has a number of drawbacks. First, in their attempt to streamline the tool, Blackboard made it too simple. Many of the options originally in the program are now gone. Additionally, because it has to go through Blackboard, Collaborate is laggy and lacks the immediate feeling of programs like Skype. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Blackboard Collaborate:

Avoid it. Look for something not integrated into the Blackboard ecosystem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Blackboard Collaborate solving and how is that benefiting you?

We no longer needed to pay for an external solution (like webex or Connect). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
