What do you like best about Blackboard?

That it allows me access to my weekly Coursework for my classes, which in turn allows for me to complete my education from home. Although I am unaware of who many of them competitors may be, I'm certain if it were not the best platform available, Strayer would not have enlisted them as their main source. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blackboard?

That it needs updating almost weekly sometimes. While I don't have the BEST wifi service to allow ease of access, when the app gets stuck, it stays stuck. I would like to see it updated and capable of easier use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Blackboard Learn is solving the problem of allowing me to remotely complete my degree without th daily hustle of having to report to a classroom. It allows me to complete and submit coursework on my own schedule. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blackboard?

It can be very slow at times, especially during times like around finals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It allows our Students and Faculty to share their syllabus easily. And this was especially useful during COVID-19 when everyone was learning remotely.

We also have BB tied to our Slack and Zoom, and that integration is beneficial and necessary.

Also, the fact that it is Browser and operating system agnostic is critical to supporting a variety of Faculty and Students Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Blackboard?

I like that it acts like an LMS with a huge amount of features for creating quizes and assignments mak8ng it more easier as you just add the content and then create all the other stuff on the platform.

Also all the content can be easily exported and reused which is amazing.

And I really like their quick support if there’s any problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blackboard?

It requires a kind of full hands on training for some teachers and managers as its features are not easily detected by anyone who is not a tech-savvy.

Also I think they must add the ability to disable some features for the instructors by the supervisors to prevent confusion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It solves the problem of measuring the learning effectiveness and the learners knowledge in remote learning and it also solves the problem of

Creating quizes on authoring tools then uploading tak8ng lots of space. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
