What do you like best about Blackboard Collaborate?

We use Blackboard collaborate for our online professional development sessions. The ability to have one designated meeting link makes it easy for us to offer varied sessions but only one link. We can share the link easily via emails or flyers. If a person lost the link we have it posted on our website and they can access it very easily. The phone in part is also great for those that do not have a built in mic to their laptop. The ability to record, save and share sessions is a great feature also. It is pretty intuitive to use and very little learning curve. I highly recommend it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blackboard Collaborate?

That our version it tied to a closed Blackboard course. We have an open source course for their professional leaning community that cannot be ties into collaborate. We still can use it and share links but it is a hang up having to maintain two "courses". Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Blackboard Collaborate:

It is a very good web based conferencing software that does not require any downloads to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The ability to have one designated link has allowed us to streamline our sessions. Previous software each session had its own link and this lead to some logistical nightmares. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
