Blackboard shows it’s age. Much of the software is based on older technology and has trouble keeping up with new file formats and compressions as well as new demands for the way instructors and students collaborate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how easy it is to use the classroom, class connect sessions, and update students on their assignments and essays! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The blackboard system can be a decent learning curve at first, which makes it difficult to use in the beginning. But, after learning it, it makes life easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Appreciate recent updates, which make it much easier to navigate. I have used both Blackboard Learn and Converge, and Blackboard is much more user friendly in my opinion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have no dislikes in regards to this product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Blackboard makes it easy to teach online by allowing files to be uploaded as assignments and the ease of use of navigation. I especially like the « jump to » button when grading. This has helped me enormously. I think a template for online classes would be a good idea—it feels like there is a lot of leg work involved in creating basic course pages.

Blackboard can be confusing to use at the beginning. It feels like there are many possibilities with a lot of potential, but one isn’t sure how to go about implementing them. It requires a training session at the very least, months of use at the most. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Blackboard is user-friendly. Very flexible to post student material, announcements and even do exams online. You can easily assign different permission levels to faculty and students.

Weights can be added to exams and assignments, thus adding up to the full course grade.

Easy to navigate and compatible with any browser.

The application can easily be configured to connect to the LDAP. And it is mobile friendly!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is hard to mention weaknesses in the functionality of the application. I would suggest a more colorful interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I love the most about blackboard is that it is so easy to put all your course content in one place. It is very easy to access as well. I love that it can tell you your grades, due dates of assignments and send reminds for assignments at a time as well. I can also easily manage my work-related documents and training on blackboard just by clicking on the organizations that I am a part of. I love you that you send mass email and make announcements for everyone to see it as well.

Overall, it is a great place to have all your course content in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Blackboard does not work well on phones or on the app. I have had issues with submitting .zip files for my assignments as well, and it does not really incorporate videos properly.

It does not really have any exceptional features but it is a good place to have everything together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it makes it easy to take an online class because I can watch lectures posted by the professor, submit homework, take tests, etc. without having to go to a physical location. I also like the flexibility and access to schoolwork it provides for regular, in-person classes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My blackboard notifications are only sent to my school email address, which I rarely use. I wish there were a way to link those notifications to my personal email address.

Additionally, the discussion threads in the class dashboards are a little confusing. I'm never sure if I've read all that has been posted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are only a few features that I like about blackboard to be honest. It is good for classroom management, it gives you reminders for your upcoming assignments, and it is easy to create announcements on blackboard for your students. It is also quite popular ad the centralized education management system for the university, so everybody uses it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a lot of things that I dislike about blackboard. To start with, it is filled with bugs! It does not work on my phone and a lot of my students have complained about that as well. The text boxes don't expand when you type which makes it hard to see what you are typing. It also has bad syllabus integration system which misleads a lot of students.

Frequently blackboard maintenance is required by the university, which prevents access to the entire website all day! The app for it is a horrible implementation as well! Definitely needs help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Blackboard does an excellent job at class management for my own courses at TAMU as well as to maintain my tutoring documentation, tutor training, and compliance training records. It is easy to look at submission deadlines and keep track of what's due in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a lot of things that I dislike about blackboard. It is VERY BUGGY. It does not work well on my android phones and I cannot even request for support services for help. It also auto-calculates the grades for my students for the tutoring assignments which does not match with my grading policy. This ends up giving them wrong information about their progress.

I constantly receive emails regarding phishing done on blackboard as well.

It also does not support extensions like .c or .zip or .tar files which, as a Computer Science student, I have to use a lot!

I would really like them to work on these features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Blackboard provides a platform for grading that gives options on options, from setting up a gradebook to setting up a group of students with a common interest, like pre-med, and allowing student to add themselves to that group to promote communication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Archaic and not user friendly. We switched Canvas, and only then did I realize the number of steps it took to do the same task in Blackboard. With blackboard, you will have to go through tutorials and youtube videos to demonstrate usability and function. With Canvas, the user-friendly platform allows for self-teaching almost without outside tutorial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
