What do you like best about Blackboard?

I like that there is a way to communicate with everyone in your course, which allows for easy discussions and questions. I really like that you can access a variety of different information and that it will either pop up in a different place such as google drive, Microsoft word or that you can just view it in another tab.

What do you dislike about Blackboard?

Sometimes there is a possibility for user error if an instructor does not open an assignment correctly or make it public to view. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Blackboard?

Blackboard Learn is very easy to use and the application itself presents a very professional product to the users. As a teacher, we use Blackboard Learn to post our classroom webpages. These pages are seen by parents, students, and community members. (Truly anyone in the world!) The webpages we create and use are functional and appealing. Students and parents navigate with ease and enjoy logging on to use our sites, thanks to Blackboard Learn. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blackboard?

Creating and altering pages once they are on your site can be a bit difficult if your site contains multiple pages and links. Trying to organize a large site may take time and ultimately be more frustrating than leaving the links where they were. Nevertheless, this site faces that problem because you are capable of creating the site size that you want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Blackboard:

Use this across your district/company, not simply for one small portion of your organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Our district website and homepages are uniform and functional. We can contact one company to solve our tech problems, as well as assist one another in any small hiccups we may face. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
