Blackboard Collaborate Reviews & Product Details - Page 15

I work at a university with three campuses. This allows us to have meetings without needing to be in the same town. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is kind of hard to set up and we have some issues with sound. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The underlying idea of Bb Collaborate is a useful one, and it offers some helpful features to communicate with students who need more individualized attention or who want to hold group work sessions virtually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Bb Collaborate just isn't intuitive. Whether you've used computers for the past 30 years or past 3 years, you'd still have to have a good deal of training to really get the most out of what it offers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of entry into the system, simplistic layout, accommodate high number of users Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Instability of the system, lack of features, poor administrative tools Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Real time interaction with user community Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

N/A. I really have no negative comments with this product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that you can set up your presentation ahead of time and plan it out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it freezes - you are in the middle of a presentation with lots of moving parts and it freezes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how user-friendly BBC is. And I really like how it helps to create a truly interactive virtual classroom. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike the fact that there is no way to easily create movable parts in presentations ahead of time. There aren't a lot of stock tools available that are helpful either in creating interactive games, quizzes, activities, etc. I have used SmartBoard for creating presentations for my brick and mortar classes in the past, and I love how the SmartBoard utility provides so many different flash-based options for activities - it would be awesome if BBC did the same. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that there are multiple modes of communication (voice, chat, writing on white board), that you can show material in so many different manners (white board, app share, etc), and that is pretty easy to download and get going. The ability to record sessions is great, too! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can't think of anything that I dislike or would want to improve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the ability to create groups and split them up into breakout rooms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It takes a long time to load once you click the initialization download. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

All of the interactive tools like the whiteboard tools, chat, mic, polling tools. Helps me see my students' work which is especially important in math class. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish I could have more cameras on at one time and record in breakout rooms. Breakout rooms seem to be the most difficult part for me to facilitate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like all of the features that BBC offers. I love that the students can interact in so many ways, including the chat box, video, mic, whiteboard tools, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like how much BBC crashes when we use it. I get kicked out often, as do my students. Also, sometimes the mic lags, and then it makes me sound like a chipmunk! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
