Overall Satisfaction with Blackboard Learn
Blackboard Learn is our online and course management software that we've been using for several years now at our university. It is used across campus for both traditional classroom planning and for online courses and students. We use it from first-year freshmen undergrad students all the way through graduate and adult/online learners. It helps us manage our online and some traditional components for faculty and students.
- Great for online course management.
- Ease of use for the Registrars, office, and staff.
- Online learning courses go very, very well for students and faculty.
- The interface is a little hard to navigate at first.
- Some of the components for course management are a little clunky compared to competitors.
- Can be capped out on some course offerings.
- The overall cost for Blackboard Learn was not that much when compared to other software.
- We've been able to save money by having faculty and staff that were already familiar with other Blackboard products so the learning curve wasn't as severe.
- The interface made it better for students.
- Moodle, Canvas and Absorb Anywhere LMS
Blackboard Learn compares favorably to the other learning management solutions out there but has a leg up if you are using other Blackboard products. We liked Absorb a lot but it was ultimately more costly for us based on our current infrastructure. Moodle and Canvas are similar but Blackboard Learn just seemed right for us and our environment.
