Blackboard Reviews & Product Details - Page 38

I have used Blackboard extensively and I have noticed many pros to the platform. It provides easy and clean organization of files. The instructions for submission of tests and assignments were clear and concise. It was also easy to customize the website and add reminders if needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some cons of blackboard were the integration into a mobile app was not as seamless as other platforms, such as canvas. This should be improved on so students can easily reach the site when they do not have a computer available to them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Blackboard is an excellent platform for educators and universities looking to provide students with well organized online resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like to see some features for educators become easier to utilize. Features like only including grades for certain assignments for certain students is a bit more difficult than it could be. Having the ability to customize class pages more would also be beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the many options for creating a variety of activities for students. I like that Blackboard makes it easy for instructors and admin to follow. Blackboard is a great platform for students of all ages. We cater a lot to older students because our program is all online and they have reported all good things. The classes are easy to use consistency in because everything is/ can be based on a template. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike that accessibility is limited based on your role. I dislike that as an admin, I control almost all of Blackboard for my online faculty and they have to come to me to change anything. I do not like that Blackboard has glitches often. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of use for everyone in the company Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Upload time was slower than expected but ok Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Learn Android App is perfect. Intuitive, easy to use, user-friendly. Highlights everything that is important and has a clean, organized UI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The website is a little different and more different to navigate on a mobile browser. But the perfect app makes up for it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It does provide a useful, functional course framework. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is incredibly glitchy, prone to losing student submitted assignments, fussy on a lot of web browsers, and some plugins it offers are very poorly integrated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Blackboard is capable of many different functions. It's LTI compatible, works with many other external systems we have, and it has several internal tools. Faculty can create Discussion Boards, build wikis, host meetings within BB Collaborate Ultra. Blackboard can facilitate almost any idea faculty have for lessons within their courses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Blackboard is also what I see as it's biggest problem: its many functions. Yes, it does have discussion, but no one really wants to use it because it feels impersonal. (My university integrates YellowDig to fix this, which has a more appeal aesthetic because it feels more like most social media platforms) Since we don't really like most of the features, we end up integrating several LTI tools and Building Blocks. This proves to be costly. I know several people would like to switch to a different system, but too many people are content with Blackboard despite requiring us to buy extra tools.

Easy to connect with professors and students and to gain access to files and assignments. Makes all information needed for contacting peers easily available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not always the most user friendly. Some applications more difficult to access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Collaboration and communication I so important, and in a mostly online classroom I thought the way we were able to communicate made it feel alot less remote. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There were times when glitches happened and some of the posts would disappear leaving the conversation unknown ornot make sense but overall the system wrroked well. I didn't like the way grades are displayed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
