Overall Satisfaction with Blackboard Learn
I've used Blackboard both as a teaching assistant and a student.
- As a student, I get mobile access and notifications about grades, announcements, and course changes that help me manage my learning.
- As an instructor, Blackboard lets me integrate a lot of different types of media, structure time released content, vary assessments, and deliver individualized learning opportunities.
- I also like the Best Practice parts of the help site -- it helps you to get ideas of how you can use the tools.
- In terms of support from Blackboard.
- I find it difficult to transfer information from one semester to another.
- Slow (even when on the same network node or high-speed cable connection) -- needs a code rewrite/optimization.
- It's full of examples I can show others on how not to do UI and UIX.
- Easy to navigate.
- Announcements, quizzes, compatible with TurnItIn assignments, makes grading simple. Easy to communicate with students and provide information regarding assignments. Posting media is also simple.
