What do you like best about Blackboard?

The thing that I like the most about Blackboard is its easy to use user interface. With this program I am able to quickly select my course from a list of my current classes and see any assignments or notes that each professor has posted for their respected classes. Also, I use the mobile app for iOS everyday and it is really well made. I like that I am able to check my current grade in the course at any time. This feature really helps me keep track of how I am doing in the class. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blackboard?

One thing I do dislike about Blackboard Learn is that I sometimes have difficulty finding the specific file I am looking for in a course. I think this has more to do with how each professor sets up their page, but it can take me a while to find an assignment or due dates because of this. One possible solution would be to give users an option to search all of the files in a course. If there was a list of all of the files in a course with a link to each one, then I would be able to find my assignments a lot quicker sometimes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Blackboard:

Take advantage of it’s easy access Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

With Blackboard I am able to access a large collection of files for each of my courses. I am able to easily access a record of all assignments my professors have posted and that are due in the past or at a later date. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Blackboard?

It's convenient for keeping track of student grades, and they can see their grades online. You can also download a list of student emails or email students directly through Blackboard. It's also fairly convenient for posting materials. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blackboard?

Blackboard is very clunky. The organization of functionality is non-intuitive. Doing even basic tasks often requires multiple clicks and page refreshes. It takes a long time to load things and to navigate around. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It is a convenient way to post course materials and grades. It allows instructors to not have to maintain a course website with course materials posted. Students can see and track their grades in real-time as they are posted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Horrible notifications, and UI. The mobile app is very hard to navigate and the font sizing are horrible for the mobile app too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Blackboard:

I think there are a lot of changes that need to be made to Blackboard's front end. It is only good for basic educational information and catching up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

As a part of my job, I am required to post some course content in Research for UTA's Blackboard account. I use it because it is integrated as a part of the university's coursework but I feel neutral about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
