Blackboard Learning Management Reviews

Blackboard Learning Management is extensively utilized across all departments as our primary e-learning platform, ensuring that all instructors integrate it into their teaching practices.

One of Blackboard's strengths is its historical prominence as a leading LMS for universities in the US and Europe a decade or more ago.

Blackboard could benefit from significant improvements in its data storage and software functionality to remain competitive with more innovative LMS solutions.

The effectiveness of the support can vary depending on the nature of the issue, often limited by the software's constraints.

Setting up Blackboard is quite complex, and due to its intricacies, it typically requires the involvement of an IT team.

I rate the process around a four.

The product pricing tends to be higher than alternatives like Canvas, making Blackboard more suitable for larger universities with substantial budgets.

While Blackboard's assessment tools are conceptually sound, the practical implementation is hindered by the outdated software environment. The integration of AI is crucial for modern educational tools, but is limited, reducing the potential for meaningful advancements. 

Overall, I rate Blackboard a five out of ten, primarily due to its historical strengths but recognizing its need for modernization.

I use the solution to teach classes. 

The solution is easy to use. 

I have been using the product for a year. 

I have never had any issues with the solution's stability. I rate it a nine out of ten. 

I have used Canvas LMS and Brightspace. I wouldn't say I like Brightspace since its navigation is cumbersome. 

I rate Blackboard Learning Management's deployment ease a ten out of ten. It is easier than Canvas LMS. 

I rate the overall solution a ten out of ten.
