Business benefits of Blackboard Learn are that it allows colleagues and students to interact on a platform from the comfort of their own home or office. It allows private messages and whole group discussions to take place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Blackboard makes course material easily accessible to students and has it all located in one place, which is particularly beneficial for undergraduate students who tend to struggle with organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
