What do you like best about Blackboard?

I really like that my professors can add digital assignments and communicate by making announcements. I also really like always having access to the syllabus when not in class for reference. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the links to outside articles or assignments do not work and state that access is not granted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It is a great benefit to have everything available online from checking grades to having discussion with other students. I find it makes staying connected so much easier as a commuter student. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Blackboard?

I liked that I could access the coursework anywhere. Blackboard was the first online toll I used and it was a good first program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blackboard?

It was often hard to navigate and I had to go all the way back to the home page to navigate somewhere rather than just clicking to go to the new place. I also had issues uploading and posting assignments sometimes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Blackboard?

I like that blackboard has seemingly limitless features.

For a professor who is willing to put the hours into training and course building, it can be an amazing tool.

I would write more, but there's nothing more to write. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blackboard?

Blackboard has so many features that new users would never figure out on their own. It is not especially user-friendly, and it is entirely horrid on mobile devices.

Blackboard can be, to a lazy professor, a great tool, because it is nearly impossible for them to build a really decent course without specific personal training.

Blackboard does not coordinate well across different devices, and is difficult for students to use unless they have the exact materials.

I wish Blackboard were easier to integrate into other popular learning platforms, such as Pearson MyLabs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Blackboard:

Honestly, I would consider something else. Blackboard has a lot of work to do in order to catch up to 2018.

I would recommend, to all adopters, to have a very strong training program so that all users are aware of all features. Without this training, it would be nearly impossible to get your money's worth out of this platform. It is completely necessary to have good trainings in order to use BlackBoard's biggest strengths. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I use blackboard to build online courses and organize group work across our campus(es). I enjoy that it has a lot of features, though it is not especially easy to find all the features for a new used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Blackboard?

I love that I can grade papers online, leave voice comments, and I love the integrated turnitin.com ability. Modules are easy to make for online teaching. Students love the journals, and the discussion boards are easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blackboard?

It's not intuitive, and it's not easy to help students, because we can't see their view and our view at the same time. Also, a lot of things - such as the feedback studio - are clunky and slow, and it's not obvious where to track things down. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Blackboard:

Make sure you're trained and have a good relationship with your support team! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I love having an LMS that my students can use on all platforms. This makes it so they cannot make excuses about accessing it, as long as they have a phone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
