I like that the platform effectively organizes and manages virtual learning. It is really easy to categorize files, and the testing tools it offers are unique and helpful to have.
Using blackboard makes me so frustrated I hate when I have to use it every day. I do not recommend this software to anyone.
Blackboard has all the necessary tools to create a great and effective online learning environment. There are so many LTI tools you can integrate into Blackboard to be successful.
Whole passages of feedback will suddenly disappear if you move the mouse into the wrong area or scroll a bit while you are typing comments on the essay.
I like that it allows for the creation of rubrics, as all programs of this sort do. Really can't seen anything about this that is better or even as good as other programs.
It can be hard to find certain things and often tabs are hidden withing other tabs. This an also be frustrating to students when trying to locate content.
I like that it organizes courses in a very neat way, the website is easy to navigate and looks great visually. The calendar is very helpful.
I'm paying for the courses because institutions are supposed to pay for the use of the platform. But it happens frequently that the platform is down.
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.
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.
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.
