It's getting better in some ways
What do you like best about the product?
More design power is being put in the hands of users.
What do you dislike about the product?
The shallow folder structure is not great. The switch to Ultra was unhelpfully rapid, and the conceptual differences between folders and learning modules is unclear, as is which one you should choose for which purpose.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Distribution of learning materials (documents, weblinks, audiovisual materials).
Facilitating assessments of all sorts.
Facilitating student discussion forums.

fairly good for assignments - not good for tests
What do you like best about the product?
it's fairly to use. I am not too tech savvy and i don't have problems with assignments & announcements, etc. I don't use the other discussion functions, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
Giving feedback on written work is harder than it needs to be. It seems after I click return, I have to go back and reset the color, etc. When i have 40 assignments, it jus twastes my time.
Also, when I try to download their documents, they become PDFs. That's hard if i want to provifde feedback via WORD and the tracking codes, etc.
During a test, it appears they can access ChatGPT and google. That's counte3r intuitive for a test. If that can be prevented, our IT guys don't seem to know about it.

It can be a complicated application for admins.

A learning curve, but full of features for students, teachers, and staff
What do you like best about the product?
As an admin, I like how well laid out Blackboard's admin panel is. It's customizable, too.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish it would be easier to search for at least filter data within the GUI (i.e., give me all course for X semester built after Y date using Ultra)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It gives our teachers and students a platform for teaching and learning. I believe the LMS is doing its part when it's "invisible" to users, and it tends to do that admirably, especially Ultra.
System is getting there!
What do you like best about the product?
Blackboard Learn continues to update and advance. They are leading the way in many updates and new technologies. With the new Ultra set up, it is easy to use, and looks the way students expect a modern website to look. The LTI and API systems make integration easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
The new Ultra system is lacking many features original had. This does seem to be improving with time, but for now, some of those lacking features make courses more symplistic than our facutly are accustomed to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This gives up a place to run all our online courses. Additionally we are making use of our data warehouse to write SQL queries to create all our own reporting, which has made many of our Institional Reseach folks happy!
