After three and a half years of using it as a platform administrator and after following the transition to Ultra, I can say that today Blackboard is an LMS that keeps up with the times and is equipped with all the necessary features. With the new interface, workflows have become much more intuitive, and this is reflected in a reduced need for support from us towards students and teachers. I also appreciate the incredible effort made by Blackboard over the years in addressing the platform transition and the constant technical support. I greatly appreciate the fact that new features are introduced on the platform based on user requests, which can be voted on a specially created portal.

Easy to navigate as a learning platform.

I have been an LMS administrator and faculty with Blackboard Learn for 16 years, so my answers have some background. I particularly like Blackboard Learn Ultra's intuitive way to populate the course components and the variety of tools available to do it. The instructor or professor can start with a course outline or ask for one from Generative AI; then, populate the outline by adding components from top to bottom. Various components, such as text pages, links, quizzes, and written assignments, can be added. Anything can be revised, augmented, or moved. I also like also the degree of integration that Blackboard has achieved with different providers such as Pearson, Alex, Respondus, etc.; these are easily selected and integrated with the course.
