Blackboard is versatile LMS that supports a range of educational needs, making it a popular at HEI
What do you like best about the product?
I love the integration of third-party tools the best in Blackboard Ultra. It was easy and seamless. The grade book is also very manageable in Blackboard Ultra, with third-party assessment scores updating every 24 hours.
What do you dislike about the product?
It involved a mindset change from Blackboard Learn to Blackboard Ultra. There was also a steep learning curve, and it took a lot of practice to make the module look good and have easier navigation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Blackboard helps keep information securely in one place and integrates 3rd party tools that automatically mark students, thereby reducing the marking of 9,000 students. e.g. Integration of SCORM packages.

Blackboard Ultra - Best LMS out there!
What do you like best about the product?
There is very little I dislike! The recently added Design Assistant features put Blackboard on a different level to any other VLE.
The ability to quickly and safely generate new content such as quizzes, assignments, discussion boards, journals and images is a game changer for any academic who is wanting to enhance their teaching, learning and assessment workflows.
Every staff member that has attended one of our training sessions were I introduce Design Assistant has nothing but wonder, amazement and a "how do i get my hands on this!" attitude after the sessions.
All of the above, although my favourite part of BBU should distract from how every other aspect of the software is perfectly designed and balanced to produce unbelievably learning opportunities to provide students the best experiences while at our University.

What do you dislike about the product?
As mentioned above, there is very little I dislike about BBU. I would like to see blackboard thinking about introducing more of a Gamification style strategy to the formative test tool. Think about how successful Kahoot and Quizizz have been. Could we see a more gamified user interface with the new GenAI Design Assistant still working in the background?

Blackboard is a great platform from an instructor standpoint. It is easy to navigate, there are a lot of relevant features, students find it easy to navigate and submit assignments, and it has been seamless to integrate across a large organization.

Some of the tools can take a bit of time to learn and there are several places that dates have to be updated if you are planning out an entire semester at one time and changes have to be made within the semester.

Online learning

It isn't as easy to make your page look as visually appealing as it once was.

More design power is being put in the hands of users.

Distribution of learning materials (documents, weblinks, audiovisual materials).
Facilitating assessments of all sorts.
Facilitating student discussion forums.

Blackboard
What do you like best about the product?
Blackboard is an easy to use LMS. It has a wide range of features and integrates easily with many 3rd party publishers and tools. The new Ultra course format is very intuitive.
What do you dislike about the product?
Blackboard customer support could be improved upon, although once you get past their first tier support, it gets better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Blackboard is our campus LMS. Nearly all of our courses use Blackboard.
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.
