Blackboard Learn

Avantages

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

Inconvénients

I do not find Blackboard Learn to be intuitive.

Avantages

My assignments and materials are organized in one place. 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.

Inconvénients

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.

Pourquoi choisir Blackboard Learn 

I've used Moodle and Canvas, and I believe Blackboard Learn is more user-friendly and easier to use. The saying "you get what you pay for" applies to Blackboard.

Pourquoi passer à Blackboard Learn

Student logistical challenges were addressed and resources were provided by Blackboard. It simplifies managing and improving communication with students and teachers. The whiteboard allows you to attach Microsoft Outlook, and anyone in the class can send an e-mail to the class.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

The flexibility to update information and make changes to coursework is good. If a student publishes an assignment, such as a paper, incorrectly I am able to reset the assignment on an individual basis without opening it up to the entire class.

Inconvénients

With the more frequent use of mobile devices, Blackboard needs to be more mobile-friendly. Some screens, such as the grade book, offer limited functionality when accessed on a mobile device such as an iPad.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

The features which helps the instructor as well as the students to track the records, go through the assessments, course. It is also easy to use which makes it more used to for teachers and students for one go.

Inconvénients

Sometimes if there are 5000-7000 student usage at the same time, it hangs for a few minutes.But it is resolved now and the team is working to get through it.

Avantages

The softwares capacity to synchronize contacts and users information.

Inconvénients

Near to perfect but it has little hitch when it comes to support.

Canvas

Pourquoi passer à Blackboard Learn

Canvas tend to favour learning institutions only.

Avantages

I like that if you're a power user and your students get into it, this is probably the only eLearning tool you will ever need. It has everything from homework assignments to actual video-conference; besides of the usual tools like forums and work groups. The online exams are very useful, specially if you don't want to manually grade tons and tons of tests.

Inconvénients

I don't like the user interface. Most of the tools are one more click away than I think they should. Very useful things like the exams are really powerful, but creating them is so awkward that sometimes you prefer to just handle a document.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

I love that everything for all of my classes is accessible on Blackboard Learn in a single area. I have access to all of the resources, tests, and homework that my instructors have uploaded. the platform's user-friendliness. For instance, it can be effectively used by both the instructor and the students. You can see all of your selections on the bar to the left.

Inconvénients

I can't think of anything about Blackboard Learn that I dislike, to be completely honest. It has been an excellent resource for online learning and classes. I may interact with my professor and fellow students, take part in debates, and access and watch my lectures.

Avantages

What I like most about blackboard is the item analyzer which help us educator to secure that test and assessment given to students are align with intended learning outcome an. I also like the respondus that secure honest and credible exams.

Inconvénients

There is also no enough storage. Every upload of documents or videos occupy a huge amount of BB storage, thus we need to procure additional storage.

Avantages

The ease with which a student and teacher can interact constantly.The weekly content folder helps the student to sort out their works without any hassle.

Inconvénients

Compared to other LMS,I found this to be easy to use and hassle free. So I do not have any Cons list for it.

Avantages

De esta plataforma me gustaba mucho el que se tenía un record de clases.

Inconvénients

No me gustaba que, cuando acababa una clase, la misma quedaba cerrada y no podía entrar para revisar o guardar documentos. También, las herramientas, no se usaban porque casi no se entendía su funcionalidad.

Avantages

I can post a variety of media in the Announcements section and in the Content Areas. The more options I can give students to access the information they need, the better.

Inconvénients

There may be a way to do this and I haven't figured out how yet, but I would like to be able to transfer a whole content area from one course to another instead of starting from scratch each time.

Moodle

Pourquoi passer à Blackboard Learn

It had better functionality with the campus portal.

Avantages

I enjoyed the navigation features that made it easy to use Blackboard LMS. Some new software my company has implemented has been very difficult to navigate and understand, but this was not.

Inconvénients

We experienced some browser issues with Blackboard. Many could not access certain features using Internet Explorer, which we understand now is outdated. Google Chrome seemed to be the best browser to use and has work pretty good ever since.

Avantages

It entails numerous features that are designed for the ideal LMS for different levels of education. It helped form the basis for other platforms.

Inconvénients

The UI/UX is close to non-existent and needs a lot of customization and improvement. Unbeatable functionality but the ease of use and aesthetic is lacking.

Avantages

Everything I need for class can be downloaded in as a PDF or as a Microsoft file. Easy for professors to give you the information you need.

Inconvénients

Way too many folders, way too confusing. Its clearly confusing for the professors to figure out where they should upload and store files, because I have the hardest time finding them. Can be difficult to navigate. Needs to be streamlined, at least for what we are using it for.

Avantages

Facile da utilizzare, ottima esperienza di utilizzo.

Inconvénients

In caso di utilizzo da parte di troppi utenti, potrebbe richiedere più tempo per il login.

Avantages

Blackboard is one of the giants of the e-learning industry, so you can expect resourcing and the support indicative of a premier product. The mobile experience was relatively intuitive, which is a must in the current environment where students may be working full time while earning an online degree.

Inconvénients

Compared to other learning management systems (such as Canvas or Schoology), Blackboard reflects the features and structuring of learning management systems of days gone by - specifically, it is structured most closely around a 'document dump' approach to online learning. This approach has been soundly refuted in the research, and while one can certainly design a quality learning environment, many of your end users will likely not have the discernment to do so. From a student's perspective, it is often difficult to access key pieces such as messaging and grades when enrolled in multiple courses at once.

Avantages

The number of tools integrated within the Blackboard so that multiple URLs and passwords need to be managed is a breath of fresh air!

Inconvénients

The grade center can give a view by the student. Seeing columns of assessments for a number of students make it somewhat cumbersome as the # of assessments grows. Also, it is difficult to see all the courses that a student is taking.

Avantages

It's the easiest software to use because has many properties that other similar webinars, I tried, have.

Inconvénients

Sometimes excites errors that cannot be solved even with a good Internet, such as Error 404 that comes out without any reason.

Avantages

I found this advantageous when I was in college as an undergraduate. It was great to track my course work and online assignments through this LMS. For its time it was adequate with the UI layout but to modern look and feel of websites and web application software in 2020 it would be outdated unless they revamped the display of everything.

Inconvénients

It was just a bit clunky at times and occasionally a pain in the @$$ but it still got the job done. It might have been that my student user rights weren't fully configured and there was a lack of training from the university for students to use the tool and not on the fault of Blackboard Learn.

Avantages

Blackboard Learn allowed me to create an online classroom for my students with ease and detail. It was easy to create weekly folders and announcements about assignments - and send individual reminders to all of the students so they stay on track - all while easily keeping track of grades.

Inconvénients

For some instructors, it was difficult to get a hang of the details of the software. There are areas where it could be more user friendly for those who aren't as comfortable with trail and error software learning.

Avantages

tiene varias cosas muy buenas que no encuentras en otras aplicacion como por ejemplo tener acceso a 2 o mas cursos en un portal unico.Puedes diseñar un monton de herramientas de aprendizaje como examenes, cuestionarios, test....El seguimiento de la capacidad evaluacion y seguimiento de los alumnos se hace de una manera rapida y facil.

Inconvénients

Su elevado precio, es cierto que la diversas funciones que tiene la hace de las mas completas del mercado y que es un aplicacion que no da practicamente fallos, pero lamentablemente la relacion calidad-precio esta descompensada.

Avantages

Is able to sync with textbook publishers assignments.

Inconvénients

Nothing needs to be improved. All works as it should
