It’s sometimes a little bit confusing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We used Blackboard to host team meetings with our remote workers. It is very robust and allows "passing the ball" from the organizer to other members in order for them to show their screen or prepared slides e.t.c. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn't really anything to dislike this program can take a lickin and keep on tickin! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When I started my job for Apple, blackboard was the app we used for our training sessions. It was pretty useful because we could all collaborate together and learn at the same time. The trainers were able to see us and hear us while also showing us various slides to teach us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I liked best about Blackboard the organization of assignments, and that each and every class utilized Blackboard to show what was due, and, at times, what the scores were. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I was not immediately familiar with blackboard or that the assignments were largely being put there, and I primarily had planned or had the expectation that the teachers would have shown that first, and not be primarily in blackboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I enjoy the ability to be able set up one Collaborate room for multiple courses. Additionally, the ability to share content and the white board helps with visuals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My biggest gripe with BB Collaborate is how it is cumbersome if you do not have it in a course shell. I believe that being able to access it freely would allow it to become more efficient. The learning curve for setting up rooms and sessions is a little more steep than I would like. One of biggest hurdles in implementing technology across a college campus is ensuring that it will be easy to learn. Studies show that overly difficult tech can hinder student performance and faculty buy in. Therefore, having a difficult virtual meeting system hurts the overall mission of providing quality online education. If the users are tech saavy, then it usually is not an issue. However, it can be an issue when working with non-traditional students who have not grown up with technology in the "classroom." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the flexibility of live interaction-- the class can interact via video/audio/text chat, whiteboard, polls. We often use break-out groups for smaller group discussion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The newest update my university implemented removed the small profile pictures of users in the chat interface. I miss that way of feeling more connected with other students. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
