What do you like best about Blackboard?

This is perfect for me, as an administrative assistant, to manage the students in our department and program. I am able to add and remove students as things change, and I can reach all of the students in the program. Adding other administrative users is quite easy as well, and allows all interested parties top post announcements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blackboard?

It's not always easy to use copy and paste to enter information as the formatting gets very wonky and you can't see the issues until some information is posted. I dislike the way to insert PDF links as the page announcement. I have to upload a jpeg image of the flyer and add links elsewhere. I am also not fond of the way links must be separately embedded into the sex, instead of auto-linking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

This allows me to reach all of the students in the program and keep them updated on the information and ongoings of the University. Since the students are required to use the system for classes, and I guaranteed to get their attention when new content is posted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Blackboard?

Blackboard serves as an online archive of all learning materials conveniently organized by courses and subdivisions within. Documents, assignments, and quizzes are all easily accessible. Plus, there’s a mobile app so you can access blackboard from anywhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blackboard?

The user interface could be enhanced to be cleaner and easier to use. The embedded window for assignment submission occasionally alters formatting. The website also doesn’t allow for instructors to post embedded videos or pdfs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Blackboard solves the problem of distributing learning materials from instructors to learners in an organized fashion all in one place — a virtual curriculum. It has eliminated daily paper hand outs, aggregated all materials of the same category or topic in place (ex. materials for cardiovascular physiology or quizzes for anatomy class), and allowed universal and immediate access to this virtual curriculum.

What do you like best about Blackboard?

Can easily provide students with materials (although I didn't use this feature much). Email notifications about when grading was due was very useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blackboard?

Navigation was complex at first and took some getting used to. Mostly I used it for grading student's assessments and overall commitment throughout each school term. I found the drafting and saving reports difficult and often things did not save and weren't sent to the department head. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Blackboard:

A guide or training session would be useful! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Providing a group of students with learning materials. However I mostly taught individual private lessons so it wasn't best optimised for this kind of teaching. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Blackboard?

I like how black-board has all classes organised and it is easy for me to choose one of the classes I am enrolled in and view details about it. The best thing is that I have it clearly marked which classes I take as a student and which classes I TA for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blackboard?

It'd really be helpful if Black-board worked as well even on android phones. I am not well versed with computer knowledge therefore It's difficult for me to point out how exactly the Android app for black-board can be made better but all I can say is that app is not user-friendly and my phone hangs when I try to use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I use it both as a student to view my grades and also as a TA to put up my student's grades. As I mentioned previously, it's benefits are that it helps me keep everything organized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
