Black board was an average experience when I first used it we were just beginning to start online learning. But now blackboard is outdated and canvas is the leader .

Pros

Black board was one of the first web based learning for me. It was very basic and straight forward.

Cons

Blackboard was not as comprehensive as canvas. The collaboration was lacking and how assignments were submitted caused confusion at times

Blackboard Collaborate is a great product. Minor additions are required to make learning management easier.

Pros

It allows for a variety of events such as meetings, virtual classrooms and conferences with larger audiences.

Cons

The table of contents in the module object does not have active links that allow students to seamlessly jump from one item to another. Students are required to use the forward and backward arrows to get to a section in the module. This situation wastes time and can be frustrating on a slow internet connection.

Pros

I utilized Blackboard for school. It is a great resource for online learning as it is easy for professors to post assignments and information. It is also a great tool to collaboratively work with your peers. I was utilizing Blackboard at the peak of COVID when everything shut down. Blackboard allowed me to continue my education and still obtain the necessary information to succeed in my academic journey.

Cons

Blackboard is a bit more confusing to utilize than Canvas. It does take some getting used to however, the more you log on and explore, the easier it gets.
