Blackboard Learn Reviews

Blackboard was the tool faculty used most to relay any information about grades, curriculum changes, and other announcements. It made it easier to navigate individual courses, especially in the circumstances in which I needed to miss class. I used Blackboard for four years and could not have survived college without it.

I think the biggest con of Blackboard Learn is the esthetics. Unlike other learning management systems such as Canvas, the Blackboard Learn interface simply feels a little more outdated. That being said, with this being my main con, it was overall a wonderful tool in my undergraduate education.

Easy to create tests and assessments and grading them. Things were laid out and easy to find.

Looks old and outdated. Needs to be cleaner and conscise.

Easy to use and onboard users, especially beginners.

Folder system can be a little tedious at times.

The flexibility to update information and make changes to coursework is good. If a student publishes an assignment, such as a paper, incorrectly I am able to reset the assignment on an individual basis without opening it up to the entire class.

With the more frequent use of mobile devices, Blackboard needs to be more mobile-friendly. Some screens, such as the grade book, offer limited functionality when accessed on a mobile device such as an iPad.

Platform organization, accessibility (accessible on mobile devices), and also ensures a safe and protected learning environment.

The cost of the platform compared to other learning platforms. Also, complexity when first exposed to it

Blackboard brings everything you need into one easy to access and navigate place.

Nothing in particular stands out other than the occasional updates that are required.

The layout, the crispy clean look and feel it has. Blackboard has come along way and they just keep getting better and better.

I feel like there was something missing that I couldn't put my finger one but overall such a great product!

Its adaptability and flexibility for the content writer. Information is so easy to add, edit, or remove at a moment's notice, and the changes are reflected immediately.

There could be more assessment tools added, but the ones already there are more than adequate.

BlackBoard Learn is a reliable tool for basic communication, content collection, and assessments. There are convenience factors baked into its framework in the sense that instructors can readily copy and reuse materials from earlier semesters, but other capabilities have far surpassed the benefits of this complacency factor. Also, the price point of BlackBoard Learn is extremely compelling, and they have reliable customer support and service.

Doing anything on BlackBoard Learn requires significantly more clicks and testing than competing products. The design is clunky, and it directly contradicts the instructional delivery of faculty who know what else is out there, as well as the learning-design preferences of Gen-Z students.

The softwares capacity to synchronize contacts and users information.

Near to perfect but it has little hitch when it comes to support.

Blackboard is a rather intuitive learning platform, packed with a huge amount of features. If you need it for your school, it can be done. There were also a number of training materials and good customer support. It's reliable, which means students and instructors will know when to expect outages and prepare accordingly.

The UI, until recently, was a bit stale and outdated in appearance. Thankfully this has been updated and seems more modernistic now. It is also a bit more expensive than alternatives.

Blackboard is a well-created product that is easy to navigate for both administrators and students. It was intuitive to follow the flow a path to find content needed at a given time. There was no confusion to find lecture notes, grades, or messages from an administrator. I have used multiple learning management systems, and BBL is my favorite

Blackboard was more costly than other competitors, so our organization had to transition tools because of this.

Blackboard has a very clear and easy to use interface which makes improves access to information for all your courses.

The main drawback is the occasional upload failure which can either be due to a system failure or an unsupported file.

What I like most about this app is the ability to discuss topics in the app's discussion forums. It also offers a gradebook function that simplifies the grading process and allows students to track their progress throughout the course.

The platform can sometimes be slow and prone to technical glitches.

It has very strong and fast customer support service.

It's bit costly and there are no free version.

Easy to use and have multiple modules from different courses all accessible in one place which helps me stay organised

Could be better if the interface was more intuitive or there were more demonstrations on how to use it as a student

Blackboard is reliable and easy to use LMS, requiring little to no direction or training for new users. Communication and notifications are great, found all in one place for easy access and viewing. Gradebook is another fantastic feature. All the information about your assessments can be found in one place, including submission dates, marking criteria and overall grades. Submission process is great, allowing users to thoroughly review their documents and their similarity report before submission.

UI could be updated to be more user-friendly, e.g., minimise clicks, add more shortcuts for site navigation. Features to allow for collaboration in group projects/tasks would be useful as many users prefer external software for collaboration, communication between students and instructors and productivity. However, it is perfectly adequate for users familiar with the LMS.

If you know how to use it, you can do so much, for programmers there is ton of choice, and for what I know that is a good thing because it can be personalized for the company or schol that wants to use it. Mobilie use is also pretty great.

Many bugs, this essentially is not Blackboard fault but is their platform, they should add more support tools for programmers. Also I don't like so many optiones to mange a course, is confusing for teachers and learners.

I like how Blackboard keeps things organized for students so we can see our classes split up.

The overall software is confusing if you don’t know someone that has already used it. It is the original learning software and has its perks but I would prefer Canvas.
