This is one best LMS i have ever used in my life. One of the key advantages is the customization of each page. I am the program manager i used to customize the LMS according to my client's requirements. Also, i can design the pages, for example, using different colors, inserting logo's etc.

Aprt from everthing it is user friendly for both the stake holders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. Creating the assignment links and helps me to Consolidate the assignments.

What do you like best about Blackboard?

I loved the simple design the app had, as it made every use of it feel snappy, even on the computers at university. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blackboard?

I didn't dislike anything in particular, maybe the front page, as it doesn't have a main form of organizing what classes are on sight, and you have to know already where to dig in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Blackboard:

Mostly nothing, it's perfect for most people and computers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Mainly organization of documents for most classes which it did pretty well. The main benefit is having all the class content in one single spot and not in separate emails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Submitting homework and exams solution for my courses. During the pandemic that was a great feature since I don't have to physically submit the solution or send it to email for different professors.

What do you dislike about Blackboard?

Nothing, it's so useful for students and teaching staff Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I am a student, all my course information is on blackboard. In the pandemic teachers were posting video lectures as well for later review and those who missed a lecture. It's really helpful.

What do you like best about Blackboard?

It has always been easy to access and find what is needed with the previous setup of courses and folders. I additionally like how an email is sent when documents are uploaded. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blackboard?

I dislike the new update. It is confusing and in my opinion, unnecessary as it does not add to functionality but rather to its aesthetic. I additionally dislike the setup for individuals to edit one document together. It is glitchy and does not work well. I would much rather use google documents as everybody can see which individual is typing and there is no concern of losing information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The problem of turning in assignments and having access to information for my synchronous and asynchronous classes during this pandemic. I have realized the benefits as I go through graduate school and need to use this site not only for my courses, to submit group presentations and collaborate with others.
