Blackboard Reviews & Product Details - Page 5

The easiness of having an IL4 SaaS delivery service where you don't have to worry about updates and security scans is already amazing, but add the amazing features, AI, and all the constant innovations and improvement to the delivery of student engament, simply brings it to the top. You honestly get more from what you pay. Implementing Ultra was so painless, as it was the integration of other LTI or tools is always so easy, making my job as a LMS Administrator a breeze.

While spmetimes communcation between the service reps can be a bit frustrating, they do listen to feedback and take complaints seriously. So I can't really blame them for being awesome! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Integration with McGraw-Hill Connect - problemattic and clunky in the past but now seems fixed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Ultra upgrade removed very important functionality that was critical in managing my class sections. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Learn (original and ultra courses) are full of features that adapt to instructor, student, and institutional needs. Lots of options for classes using the LMS for everything as well as those who just supplement their face to face interactions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Integrating third party tools and managing them can be a challenge but this situation has been improved by the sunsetting of building blocks adn the embracing of LTI and REST API integrations...if the third parties will get their ducks in a row... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Blackboard Learn continues to update and advance. They are leading the way in many updates and new technologies. With the new Ultra set up, it is easy to use, and looks the way students expect a modern website to look. The LTI and API systems make integration easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The new Ultra system is lacking many features original had. This does seem to be improving with time, but for now, some of those lacking features make courses more symplistic than our facutly are accustomed to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of use and their responsiveness to suggested changes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do not like the gradebook total score calculations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Blackboard is a great LMS product that has shown a renewed vision of innovation and committment to their community of users and incorporates their ideas and feedback. Their Ultra format is user friendly for the instructors and students alike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There backend support ticketing system has been a tiered issue for a long time, but they were consistently working to make it better. So we remain hopeful that they are able to accomplish it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the integration of third-party tools the best in Blackboard Ultra. It was easy and seamless. The grade book is also very manageable in Blackboard Ultra, with third-party assessment scores updating every 24 hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It involved a mindset change from Blackboard Learn to Blackboard Ultra. There was also a steep learning curve, and it took a lot of practice to make the module look good and have easier navigation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the simplictic interface. Makes it useable across different device types.

Upgrading from Blackboard Learn Original to Ultra was a seemless transition.

While Blackboard administration is part of my daily responsibilities the ease of administration by integrating it with our SIS has lghten the work load. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Support could be a little quicker on returning responding but for the most part I have not had much issues with them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Anthology Blackboard is leading the way to an AI-empowered future in higher ed that is founded on their Trustworthy AI approach and the AI Policy Framework. Blackboard (in partnership with Microsoft) provides powerful AI assistance for course design, rubric, test, and content development--even innovative AI conversations for learning--but it insists on human control of AI every step of the way and safeguards individual, personally created content from being used without consent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are always things that could be impmroved with any product--from refinements (like better drag-and-drop) to major overhauls (like huge improvements to Ultra docs), and I would like to see some of those improved sooner rather than later. However, the Anthology Blackboard Idea Exchange offers clients the opportunity to suggest improvements and enter ito dialogue with designers and product managers while other Blackboard users discuss and vote on the suggestions--and humdreds of those ideas have been implemented in Blackboard already. Amazing! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

More design power is being put in the hands of users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The shallow folder structure is not great. The switch to Ultra was unhelpfully rapid, and the conceptual differences between folders and learning modules is unclear, as is which one you should choose for which purpose. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
