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.
Makes learning fun, generates competition. Great reporting features, which not only help participants, but assist the Training Department to identify areas of focus.
No compatibility with Apple Keynote. Physical Clickers are small and easily lost.
The ability to crop out certain parts of a recording easily within the browser and the ability to manually edit captions for clarity are also very helpful.
You cant simply use the software, you have to register for a Turning Account which is a nightmare when you forget the password and 500 people are waiting for you to sort the problem out.
The software is relatively user friendly. Due to the nature of our industry, we do prefer to use the built in clickers, but having the option for smart devices is also a great benefit.
Also, I wish there was a way to not give points against a person's score if they do not answer a question. Sometimes signals are weak or someone leaves the room, and they are penalized for that.
It is super easy to use. One thing that is great is once you are set to a channel on your remote for that class you won’t need to change it as long as the receiver’s channel doesn’t get changed.
As far as I am aware, it is the only clicker company that charges an annual fee for people who purchase clickers. Without the software the clickers do not work so the annual fee is a essential.
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.
