Crystal: Hi. My name is Crystal. I'm an animal control officer and I give Blackboard Learn a four out of five rating. For more reviews like this, click below. The problems that I solve, I use Blackboard Learn for all of my online classes with my university. So, it really helps me incorporate that learning attribute with communication with my peers and my teachers, as well. What I like the most about Blackboard Learn is that it really makes it accessible and easy to take my online studies without having to have huge hoops of communication issues. I can speak directly with my teachers and my peers. What I like least about Blackboard Learn is that it does tend to have some technical issues. So, sometimes the platform will be down, and we won't be able to access our studies and our classes or submit work. And then, you can't communicate with the teacher unless you have their direct email. So, that is kind of complexing. And then you have to reach out to their 1-800 number. So, it tends to be a bit inconveniencing at times.
