Blackboard Learn Review

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: I had great experience with Blackboard Learn and I will continue to use it in the future. I have not found any other education software out there that can do what Blackboard Learn does.

Pros:

It is easy to use and has all of the feature I need like auto grade, the ability to create quiz and text on the fly and allow the student to get involved in the discussion.

Cons:

There is nothing I do not like about the software.

Functional Beast

Comments: I have enjoyed using Blackboard Learn and feel that it meets all the needs of an online learning platform in terms of function.

Pros:

I love how functional it is and how thoughtfully crafted it is for students and instructors alike.

Cons:

At times the interface lacks aesthetic value, especially when it comes to writing your own responses on the platform and using it on a mobile device.
