This is a very powerful software that allows educators to communicate with students very well. The ability to customize and create is awesome.
The text box that students use on Blackboard is terrible. The autocorrect of the text box is unable to recognize a lot of words and claims that it is not a real word and gives a red line underneath.
My favorite feature of this software is the ease of use. Not only is the software user friendly, but it is also reliable and allows me to do all my course work from reading to homework in one place.
What I don't like about Blackboard Collaborate is when it would crash and it happens a lot so it makes it frustrating to use this program. They got some bugs to work out.
The capacity to welcome outside visitors (like guests) makes this device a significant asset in furnishing understudies with introduction to an assortment of speakers and points.
We found out that the context varible neded to be setup to avoid this problem.
The overall quality, ease of use, features & functionality of blackboard make it a great software for college students and college campuses to invest in.
I teach at a community college and recently switched to Collaborate for my class. I teach adults who are able to handle most technical issues, but collaborate has been very frustrating to deal with.
There is a free trial option where you do not need to enter payment info and this is nice. Customization is a great feature and the presentation is very professional.
But as a technologist I found it difficult to use. Our business users struggled even more.
I think that the customization options is what made my experience such a fun and pleasant one.
It looks awful, compared to modern software that are the norm nowadays. The quality of the video is poor.
I used this software for my counseling appointments and it was fast and I got good picture and clear audio. The video quality was great and the connection was fast.
Sometimes, it is hard to find a button. Other times, it is impossible to connect and hard to understand why.
This product is a lot better than Skype, and is a better version of Google Hangouts in my opinion. Perfect for presenting, like we have to do for our student organizations.
It's a little clunky to use, and many participants had trouble getting on to the webinar.
Chris: Hi, I'm Chris. I'm an Assistant Director of Marketing. My rating for Blackboard Collaborate would be four out of five stars, and for more reviews like this, please click below. For Blackboard Collaborate, we use it on a daily basis to help communicate with students that are taking classes in virtual format. What I like most about Blackboard Collaborate is it integrates directly into the LMS system, or the learning management system. Instead of having to pull over additional links, I'm able to just quickly launch it and be able to put that in place within the classroom environment. One thing I'd like to change about Blackboard Collaborate is it does take a lot of data and a lot of internet and bandwidth to run at any given time, so I've noticed there's a little bit of delay in the audio and the visual aspect. So I wish that was a little bit more cleaned up, as most of these classes are done live and in a virtual environment at the same time.
Speaker 1: Hi, my name is Andrew. I'm an SEO manager. I would give Adobe Connect a four out of five. For more reviews like this click below. Prior to using Adobe Connect, we used Zoom. And we still use Zoom for some of our meetings, however, some meetings just lend themselves to the Adobe Connect's environment. The reason that we chose to go with Adobe Connect is because we use many of the other Adobe products and it integrates well with them for some of our web browsers that we need docked internally. Getting started with Adobe Connect was very easy because it operates on a cloud, we basically just logged in and went from there. For any organization looking at Adobe Connect, I'd recommend that they look at some of the alternatives out there, Zoom, Cisco's tool. There are many that are out there, and it really is just about an organizational fit that's important.
