That the gradebook calculates running totals through the semester, and that I don't have to do the math. Also, that I can post announcements and send emails to all students simultaneously. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
That the built-in plagiarism checker (Safe Assign) does not catch the majority of plagiarism. I have to use an outside software for that purpose. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It made it really easy to keep an accurately schedule my day around my course load and see where my standing was as far as assignment completion and overall grade. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Wasn't great UX, kind of clunky. Also the notifications were easy to miss. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Blackboard has a lot of options for managing classes, organizations, training, etc. I think overall it has a lot to offer. For our students, it provides a lot of options to manage their classwork, set appointments with staff members, and see other organizations and class activities. Students can add their activities and student organizations in, to make it easier to send emails and create events. Staff can also use it to work through self-paced trainings and to find trainings to take. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It really has an outdated function and visual look. I used Blackboard in college almost 10 years ago and I feel as though it hasn't changed at all in it's appearance since then! I am not sure if that's because of the settings our college has it set on, but overall it just looks very out-dated. I think if Blackboard updated their look, such as better color schemes, more friendly links, etc., they'd be much more competitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I do enjoy the organization that professors can provide for their students. It is fairly simple to navigate around a class page, once items have been uploaded. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Attempting to figure out where your organizations and classes are, especially when you are a first-time Blackboard user, it confusing and overwhelming. It's overwhelming to have to navigate and try and find your courses and assignments, particularly when there is so much text on the front page, immediately after you log in.

Allows for custom classes all around. Able to utilize many features if the teacher (or class creator) utilizes all thr features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Seems outdated after so much time. Little personalization on the standard user end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I think blackboard has a lot of available assets like calendars, announcements, grades, quizzes, message board, etc. I did like having all my grades in one place. Taking quizzes within blackboard was always easy and user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I think the organization of tools could have been done better. And because different professors use it differently, this made it less of a useful system. Another issue was you did not always see notifications unless you logged in. If I didn't have a reason to log in to Blackboard one day and something was posted without my knowledge, such as an assignment, I would not have known it was there.

I found this system to be quick to learn how to navigate and things were very logically organized. This made the system very user friendly. I was happy that I was able to collaborate with peers on presentations with Blackboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I disliked the visual appeal of the program, but it's not a deal breaker. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
