Two-way texting platform designed for higher ed. Cadence helps schools streamline communication with constituents and enhance relationships throughout the student lifecycle. Scalable solution.
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.
We have loved working with the Cadence team and the product. The Mongoose employees are super helpful and fun and kind and the product is 100.
For example, we can't import more than about 10,000 students. Hence, we have to be cognizant of the report that's being generated because if it's too many, then the report will just stall out.
Overall, I have loved being a partner with cadence. Their customer service is fantastic and has genuinely made an incredible impact on communicating with our students.
My only problem currently is updating incorrect numbers across the system.
This software is very user friendly and helps specify communications to students. Students are excited to easily communicate and smoothens their transition to college.
I hate that links get filtered but that's not an issue with the software-but rather with the carriers.
The software is super user friendly. The layout of the website is clear, sending messages is easy, and I appreciate the ability to track the messages as a campaign.
It does restrict the number of students that we can bring in.
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.
