That it was always undergoing maintenance. It was never just consistent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use and easy to communicate with peers and teachers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The app is slow and does not work well, other learning tools at other universities allow you to calculate your final grade and blackboard does not offer this feature Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Blackboard is a wonderful tool to organise class timetables, reading lists, courses and other useful things all in one place Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it can be a bit slow and difficult to navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are plenty of optimization options and it gives my classes a straightforward place to find information and do work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Too many features over-complicates use. There are so many options for creating assignments and activities it's difficult to know which ones to use, and how to use them. The help section is poorly written and doesn't help understand why features are useful, and how best to implement them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part is that it is a centralized place for students to access information Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The worst part is that sometimes it can be finicky and does not work well with apple's pages Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Blackboard is when professors actually utilize the program and post resources or lecture slides on their. This allows you never miss out on notes and feeling confident in the class because you have the resources available to improve your notes or take notes. This truly gives you a better chance of passing the class with a better grade. What is also nice is that it can send out warning on the computers if something happens. What is also great is when you have online classes it provides a sense of community for the class and allows you a way to interact with others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike about Blackboard is that we have glitches or the system goes down here and there. It can just be inconvenient and annoying that it has these issues at times and its never expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The layout of all of the classes and assignments make it logical for the students to see what was covered and any new material added. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike how blackboard does not automatically take your old classes away from the dashboard and put them in "upcoming classes". It could confuse students if they see too many classes in there. Blackboard should also take classes that were last semester's and put them in a different "past classes" section and not in the general classes section. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are so many options and different ways to accomplish objectives. Learn Original Experience/course view is versatile because it’s extremely customizable, with innumerable integrations, and instructors can develop courses at their preferred level of complexity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SaaS environment model does not seem to be “finished.” New to the model (though long time Learn clients) but not too impressed with level of service so far. Doesn’t seem especially reliable or secure and find it frustrating to be at the cutting edge, going live with untested releases (having to find all the bugs). Enormously grateful we haven’t switched to Ultra Experience, at least, which is totally confusing and not particularly intuitive for longtime users of the original experience. Large gap in features between original and ultra, though they are slowly adding features to Ultra. Also, although they say original isn’t going anywhere for the foreseeable future, it’s clear the vendor is focused on Ultra dev and Original is just not a priority anymore, so expecting to see a decline in the development of original and address of issues affecting original.
