What do you like best about Blackboard?

I love the fact that teachers can easily post a message and have it not only show up on everyones blackboard site but also in everyones email. My teachers utilize this feature quite often. Also love the convenience of the app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blackboard?

I do not really like that you cannot view everything on the app that you can review on the desktop site. Sometimes if I use the app too much I feel like I miss important things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Blackboard:

I would recommend that after each semester is over you use the "hide" feature in order to hide the previous classes or else your screen gets pretty busy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Students can easily see their letter grade they currently have in the class and they also can see the exact percentage they have in the class instead of having to ask the instructor every time they would like to check their grades. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Blackboard?

Blackboard is a great platform for organizing class content for students to access. The ability to organize readings and other handouts in separate modules is especially helpful for teaching online courses, though it can also be helpful for face-to-face classes as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blackboard?

While Blackboard makes organizing content easy, it can sometimes be difficult to set up and use. It is relatively easy to use on the student's end, but the course set-up as an instructor is not particularly user-friendly. I have taken training on using Blackboard and still do not feel that I can figure out how to do everything I want to with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Blackboard:

Blackboard is a great platform for organizing and presenting content for a course, but I would suggest that instructors take a tutorial on how to use it as well as give students a walkthrough as it can be confusing and difficult to use without training. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I use Blackboard primarily for organizing class content, keeping up with student grades, and facilitating discussion boards. Using it for student grades is particularly helpful as it provides a place for me to keep and calculate grades and also provides a place for students to find their grades as soon as I submit them, reducing e-mails about grades. I also enjoy Blackboard's discussion board format where students can post anonymously in discussion boards I choose or have to post in other discussion boards before they can read posts, making it easier to ensure students are posting their own work. Blackboard's link with SafeAssign is also helpful, as it provides a quick and easy way for me to assess whether students are plagiarizing their work and to what extent.

What do you like best about Blackboard?

I like how colleges and other learning based information can use Blackboard to organize and have a way they can delivery a teaching method. Whether that is with a class online on in person. It is nice to see due dates, grades, and much more through an online software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blackboard?

If you are new to using Blackboard it can be a little over whelming having to nagivate and learn a courses structure and where they put materials. The pros outway the cons in this software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It currently performs bug reports and other ways to make it more user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Blackboard?

I like how everything is laid out neatly into folders. Also, the calendar is very handy as I am given the option to only look at my work for certain classes or for all of them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blackboard?

I do not like how Blackboard does not have a "check mark system" where one would be able to mark off their progress as they go along their classwork. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Blackboard:

Everything is neatly sorted and easy to see! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Blackboard Learn has been down a few times for fixing, and it is inconvenient. A benefit is how organized everything is within the site itself (i.e. course messages, calendar, grades, etc.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
