(Original )Information
What do you like best about Blackboard?

It allows me to use Panopto created videos to explain assignments to my students in a different way then just having a written assignment description. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blackboard?

There are some other applications that I cannot use with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Blackboard allows me to post a variety of media for my students, like video. So I create videos in Panopto, edit them, click on the sharing function and use the links that are generated to post the video in all of my course sections. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Blackboard?

I love that Blackboard Learn has everything for all of my courses in one place. I am able to access materials posted by my professors, quizzes and tests, assignments, grades, helpful documents, resource links, and more! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blackboard?

To be honest, I cannot think of anything that I dislike about Blackboard Learn. It is incredibly simple to navigate, and everything that you need for your class is just a click away. It has been a great tool for online classes and virtual learning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I am currently only able to take classes online, so it has been very beneficial for me to access all of my course materials in one place. I am able to communicate with my professor and classmates, participate in discussions, access and view my lectures, and track my grades. Without Blackboard Learn, I am not sure how virtual learning would go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Blackboard?

I have found Blackboard Learn to be incredibly easy to organize. With weekly content folders, students can access the course one "chunk" at a time, which prevents their getting overwhelmed with too much content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blackboard?

One of the pros to Blackboard--that the instructors have a lot of options in how to set it up--can actually be a con for students who then see a different version of Blackboard in every class they take. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Now that I teach my in-person classes as hybrids (meeting one day in person, then putting the other 50% of coursework online), it is crucial to have an LMS that is easily navigable for BOTH instructors and student users. Blackboard is that easy to set up and use! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Blackboard?

The forum discussion, the possibility of viewing the site through students' visualization and the fact that you can track who and how many times they visualized certain content Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blackboard?

Setting up the grade book with categories that cannot be changed nor deleted is very burdensome. Building assignments does not allow for any kind of flexibility. Even checking statistical datas about content usage requires SO MANY passages that it is almost not worth it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

BB allows instructors to make available for students classroom materials that otherwise would have to be xeroxed Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
