Overall Satisfaction with Blackboard
Blackboard is currently being used across the whole organization. It serves as our main learning LMS at the university to distribute resource materials, upload student assignments, gradebook, and main online course tool as well.
- Easy to use. It has an intuitive interface that instructors can readily customize.
- Easy to copy a course onto new versions for follow-on semesters.
- Easy gradebook for students and instructors to keep track of grades.
- Does not sync gradebook well with all other platforms e.g. with WebAssign, which I use for online homework assignments.
- Not easy to create html-free surveys. Usually there are some tags inside the saved response files.
- Not easy to write Math.
The decision to go with Blackboard was made by my university's IT department. They are sticking with it.
