Blackboard Edutech

A great tool for all school districts

Comments: I think that this program is a great option for school districts. Large and small.

Pros:

I did like that all grades, comments, and attendance can all be in one place and does update in real time.

Cons:

I did find it a little bit cumbersome to use at times.

Blackboard is simple but solid

Comments: Enjoyed blackboard for it's ease of use and clear interface. Got the job done.

Pros:

I really enjoyed the simplicity of the user interface.

Cons:

It is a bit plain due to its simplicity. Lacking more complex features.

Not the best LMS out there, but it functions

Comments: Overall, it's fine. It does it's functions, but I don't love it. It can be hard to work with.

Pros:

There wasn't a ton of features that stands out compared to other LMS's.

Cons:

It is not easy to navigate and sometimes it can take a while to learn something new to complete on the platform.

Blackboard the Future

Pros:

I liked Blackboard the most because it was easy to use.

Cons:

What I liked least about Blackboard are the times I could not log in.

Blackboard Edutech is an excellent Learning Management System

Pros:

Blackboard Learn has an easy to use and simple to attendance tracking feature that is designed to enhance student performance and intellectual development by tracking attendance, engagement, and grading student activity in the class.

Cons:

Blackboard Learn has an easy to use modular structure for building classes, quizzes, discussion boards, and assignments. However, I would like to see more flexibility for designing course shells by integrating videos and content directly into individual modules.

Blackboard

Comments: It was the first platform I used and I got use to it. I did not like the other platforms at first but as I got use to them, blackboard seemed an inferior product.

Pros:

I have use blackboard as a student and as an instructor. The experience is similar but as an instructor I had to input course material as opposed to being a consumer of the educational material. It is relatively easy to use and since it was the first online educational platform I used, it became the standard by which I judge other platforms.

Cons:

I have had to use other platforms like brightspace and canvas. Both are similar to BB but they other platforms seems to have other functionality that is better than BB. For instance Canvas is able to integrate with the universities final grading system so I do not have to double enter final grades, once in BB and again on Canvas. With other platforms I can click once and all grades are entered.

Don't hold me to this

Comments: Overall experience was fine. Again, fixing issues, along with helping others use the software was my main role.

Pros:

I most had to put out fires with this software, so I only got to hear the complaints.

Cons:

There are a multitude of cons, but that could have been due to how it was setup in the first place. I don't want to hold it against BlackBoard.

Blackboard

Comments: Overall this program is great, we have minimal issues and the students also like it much better than our old platform

Pros:

The features of this product are much better than the previous system we were using. It is very user friendly. And even non technical people have an easy time using it.

Cons:

Sometimes the entire system crashes, but this seems to happen less frequently that it did when we first set it up.
