Blackboard Collaborate Reviews & Product Details - Page 4

I like the ease of use of Blackboard. Everything is in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish it were easier to communicate with peers. I don't like how the email server is set up. The email portion of Blackboard is embedded with in the application. I wish the application would allow to open the mail application on the computer allowing it to be easier to read and the format being comparable to what I am familiar to using on an everyday basis. Additionally, I wish I had the ability to not have the email carbon copied to myself. I can understand in order to have a paper trail to look back upon. Instead I believe it should be an option, as it is in a typical email as well weather we send a carbon copy to ourselves as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Blackboard Collaborate allows me to hold virtual class with my students with a familiar name due to their LMS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Blackboard Collaborate does much of what an instructor could do on Zoom but at an added expense to the institution. Students are mostly familiar with Zoom from other classes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform is solid and stable, and works with a number of devices and platforms. Support is usually responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Obfuscated billing - the new per minute billing seems to put clients at a disadvantage. Large classes are still not easy to setup (> 500 users in a session). Would suggest having your own arrangement for storage of recordings, as the contracted amount can balloon quickly forcing you do delete / move on short notice.

I think it is useful because it is on the site that all my classes are but it is not easy to use and there are alot of features that dont work Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's easy to use, and it allows a good communication though everyone is at home Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It consumes a lot of battery of your computer. It's very heavy for you connection Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Seamless integration with Blackboard Learn LMS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not yet as fully featured as other collaboration products, such as Zoom. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the way that different programs are able to be incorporated. It's simple to use breakout rooms and use polls within the program. I also like that all the tools that you can use are on one page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The entire program can be a bit sloppy at times. The video quality can often be choppy. The audio sometimes can go in and out as well. The price of Blackboard Collaborate is a bit higher than other options in the same class. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like the best is the fact that you can figure it out everything in this application in a couple of minutes, each clic is an answer. The design is quite clear and very intuitive, maybe that is the reason of the success of this platform among others that are being using because of the COVID - 19. You won't have to be worried about the fluency of the app and switching between menus is just smooth, lag does not exist in this app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Maybe the amount of internet that it uses, sometimes the strength of the internet get lower and lower, but it should be solved if your internet connection is enough. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Blackboard Collaborate allows users to meet in a shared space within the LMS platform. This allows for meetings to occur in a space that users are already familiar with. As an instructional tool students gain access from the moment that they are enrolled in the course. For the purpose of synchronous instruction it is a wonderful and highly useful tool that is very user friendly.

Features that I enjoy the most are the ease at which meeting sessions can be created, the ability to repeat sessions and therefore eliminate the need to setup recurring sessions, the ability to allow for participants to have early entry into a meeting at intervals up to an hour before start time and the ability to share attendance within the Learning Management System.

I currently do not have any dislikes I have found this tool to be exceptional in meeting my instructional needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
