As of the most recent update, it is now much easier to use than it used to be. Assigning assignments and adding details to classes has never been simpler. Now, it's much easier to use than it was before. The process of giving students feedback and organizing my responses is simple. It's also how I communicate with them. As a result, it's easy to refer back to them and remember what I said. I also like that Blackboard integrates well with other apps. When it comes to presentations, I rely heavily on VoiceThread and Panopto. GoReact and Top Hat are also on my to-do list. > > **Cons**: An update to the mobile app is still in order. There is a lot of work to be done on this project. On the web, the user experience was much better. > > Pandemic-related problems with submitting assignments and accessing information for my online and face-to-face classes. It has become increasingly apparent to me as I progress through graduate school that this site will be useful not only for my coursework, but also for group presentations and collaboration with other students. ----- ### "black board gets the job done" — 3.0/5 > **David** | *25 October 2024* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: ease of navigation to different department sites > > **Cons**: data storage and collaboration was lacking and hard to navigate ----- ### "How a big platform loose the ranking" — 4.0/5 > **Eugenio** | *15 December 2020* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the advertisements they did in the past, everyone knew how expensive and famous it was. > > **Cons**: They did not innovate, they both a lot of little competitors and lately they are selling them because that strategy has lost again more innovative platforms and cheaper. > > The mobolebapp is not functional, there is no gamification nor maestries. ----- ### "Blackboard as a home base for college students" — 4.0/5 > **Gerald** | *24 February 2022* | Design | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that it is fairly easy to use. Users don’t require extensive training to be able to use the product, and I like that as a student I can upload assignments and get learning modules from the same place, so it is convenient. > > **Cons**: I think the user interface design is a bit outdated. It is less appealing than other LMS such as canvas learn. I also hear a lot of my professors complain about how complicated it is on their side to navigate blackboard due to the repetitiveness and redundancy of blackboard. > > I had a fairly pleasant experience with blackboard, i was able to do much of the tasks I expect to be able to do on an LMS. I just wish that the design interface would be more simple and modern. Also more functionalities and integrations would be nice. Eg: opening a pdf file on blackboard directly instead of a redirection to a page or a pop up ----- Page: 1 / 23\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/2045/blackboard-lms-for-business?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/2045/blackboard-lms-for-business) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
