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.
Easy to use and organize. It's great for managing lessons and student progress with good automations.
There is also no active chat sections, and the lack of video conferencing is quite an appalling loss, especially since it is the most desired feature for online studies.
Moodle's feature-rich platform, exceptional user experience, and commitment to empowering educators and learners make it an outstanding choice for educational institutions and organizations worldwide.
Customizing is a headache. We are limited to their base themes and customizing from there.
Back then we were looking for a budget solution for implementing elearing in the company I was working for. It was a fun experience and community support was great.
But maybe it's because of the bad administration my university does.
This is like a great experience with my cousin elearning practices and all the way we feel like a classroom experience for them.
It is really difficult to navigate and find what you are looking for. The dashboard includes courses from current and previous semesters which is really confusing.
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.
Eladio M.: Hello, this is Eladio. I work in a producer of online courses. And I'm going to rate Moodle with four out of five stars. I have used many alternatives to Moodle, such as LMS and WordPress with LearnDash and Sensei. Moodle is the more powerful of all of them. I use Moodle because this is the all-in-one solution for e-learning. It has everything: tests, communication with the students. It is the most powerful tool in the market for this. I could give Moodle five star if it was was easier to use it, but the interface is very old, very little intuitive. And that's something they have to improve. If you are starting with Moodle right now, I would recommend that you look for expert advice. It is very tough to configurate, to set up and to put everything in place. So look for help.
