Blackboard Learn

Pros

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.

Cons

It's not very easy to use for teachers. They often have a hard time understanding all of the features Blackboard provides.

Pros

I must admit wrestling with Blackboard in 2015 when first encountered, but I've learned it to be reliable and fairly simple to use. Everything about it makes sense and navigation is easy. The system does the math for accurate grade recording and stores information for as long as needed in order to verify work submitted and grades recorded.

Cons

My least favorite thing was being thrust into Blackboard initially after using only Moodle. Our school offered some group training and I took advantage of several help sessions, too. The systems are different, but I believe Blackboard to be superior in every way.

Pros

Blackboard Learn equips all stakeholders with a reliable information through learning

Cons

Blackboard Learn is determined and no demerit.

Pros

ease of navigation to different department sites

Cons

data storage and collaboration was lacking and hard to navigate

Pros

I love how functional it is and how thoughtfully crafted it is for students and instructors alike.

Cons

At times the interface lacks aesthetic value, especially when it comes to writing your own responses on the platform and using it on a mobile device.

Pros

Blackboard Learn employs a feature where many other apps and learning platforms can be smoothly integrated into the LMS.

Cons

I do not find Blackboard Learn to be intuitive.

Pros

Blackboard is fairly easy to use and is easy to onboard with. It is familar to most students and professors.

Cons

Some of my least favorite features included the limits on customizability of the course features (such as colors) and the clunky UI.

Pros

I love everything about Blackboard Learn I love that I can see and check on my grades weekly Try to turn items in as well that are late. I love that I can reach out to my teacher whenever I need their help with things as well.

Cons

Sometimes if would freeze or log me out if you are not active in your session. but anything else i love it.

Pros

Announcements and features are easy to do.

Cons

Too many steps to erase content I feel confused at times

Alternatives Considered

Reasons for Switching to Blackboard Learn

Pros

Blackboard did do a great job of organizing online classes and content was hard to find.

Cons

The app wasn't as user friendly and as an organization it had too many university-wide breakdowns.

Pros

It’s impressive how online learning can be easily managed by utilizing key features. It’s virtual classroom and assignment/tests are one of the best in the industry.

Cons

Sometimes it takes too long to load the documents or lags when all the students log in at the same time for a common use like test or group activity.

Pros

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

Cons

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

Pros

The best feature we liked about Blackboard Learn was the 30 day free trial. Since we are a small organization operating on a minimal budget, the trial period gave us the opportunity to use the platform and make our decision for the future.

Cons

While Blackboard learn supports many languages, it unfortunately didn't have the Tibetan language required for our organization.

Pros

It is extremely fun to learn and develop new skills using blackboard Learn. The system includes great slides to learn from.

Cons

I did not have to go through any problems while using this amazingly great software. So nothing for now.

Pros

-great variety of features-can be used as a resource bank or for assessments-can be used to host video conferencing

Cons

-if the admin/teacher did not set it up properly, the user interface can be convoluted and difficult to navigate-folder system/indexing can be overwhelming

Pros

I have used Blackboard as both a teacher and a student. On both ends, it is very easy to use, and they have great tutorials when first using the software.

Cons

I have found that integration with outside apps is easier on other LMSs.

Pros

Very easy to use and connect with institutions.

Cons

Many tabs for each function. You do eventually learn where each function is located.

Pros

It is a system for Educators and learners but not the business community.

Cons

Unlike Moodle, Blackboard has not spread to other sectors of learning like businesses and non-profits.

Pros

Easy to use, concise feature set and can host and transmit a lot of information.

Cons

The UI could be improved a lot. It is currently still the one form few years ago.

Pros

What I like the most about Blackboard Learn is the amazing and complete features it offers to its users.
I use this software for higher education (as a student) and it is very complete and reliable. I can track all my courses, appointments, works, grades, files and many more in the same place, which is perfect for me.
I also like the fact I can communicate with my teachers within this platform and the possibility to activate the email notifications for every course is a great add-up for this software.

Cons

What I like the least about this software is the User Interface (UI), as I consider the navigability could be better and the features could yet be more accessible and easier to use.
Other than that, I don't have any other "complaints" about Blackboard Learn.
I may mention that in the beginning of the pandemic, with the introduction of online classes, this software was a life-saver and my institution needed to contact the support team, who was very responsive and agile to solve all the issues at that time.

Pros

It's nice to have all the assignments, documents, and grades in one place. This helps to avoid professors handing out tons of papers or sending emails all the time. The mobile app sends push notifications about grades or upcoming assignment deadlines which is nice.

Cons

I have noticed some glitches using Blackboard (didn't get notifications, etc). The UI on the computer is outdated and counterintuitive in some ways for both students and instructors. The online service is completely different from the app version which can also be a problem. The online UI needs to be updated to look more like the app.

Pros

Being still a student, I love the ease with which I can move within the interface and change courses because if you have several subjects, you can easily locate them and see the content very easily. Inside the software, you can see practically everything as if it were a classroom since you can hold virtual meetings, see your content/tasks to do, see your final grades, take your final exams, etc. It is a platform that stands out for its excellence in education since the page rarely crashes or presents some difficulties.

Cons

It may be difficult at first to navigate through the different menus/pages/courses because the platform does not give us that simply look the first time we see it, as unlike its competitors in the market, this one has a slightly less friendly view. But it is rescued if for example our school/university gives us within Blackboard a small tutorial on the essentials you should know about this software.
But honestly, I do not see many cons to Blackboard because it is a platform that gives us what we are looking for and that is why it is one of the top e-learning software.

Pros

Blackboard Learner is a valuable platform for training and teaching. The access is easier and it provides a great experience of online learning.

Cons

Very compact and nicely designed system of online learning

Pros

1. it's an LMS and something is better than nothing.
2. It's full of examples I can show my students on how not to do UI and UIX
3. Well established company is behind it
4. Modular front-end
5. Many bells and whistles

Cons

1. Counter intuitive, clunky, awkard UI (User Interface) - improve it by hiring UI/UIX experts and giving them actual control over the app interface and functions.
2. Slow (even when on the same network node or high speed cable connection) - needs a code rewrite/optimization.
3. Ancient aesthetics (although some design elements are now "flat design-ish") - hire UI and UIX designers and actually allow them to direct the final interface.
4. Many glitches (I've a folder full of screen-shots, if you want proof) - again a code rewrite needed, or ideally a complete start-over with newer code philosophies and methods.

Pros

I like that the features are easy to use and friendly, also I like that for learners there is a general overview in the dashboard about subjects, tasks assigned, and important information/announcements.

Cons

I did not like the price since it is a little high compared with other Learning Management Systems.
