Pros
I admit I struggled with Blackboard when I first come across it in 2015, but I have come to see it as reliable and relatively simple it is. Everything makes sense, navigation is easy and the system handles grading accurately while storing information for as long as needed to verify submissions and grades.
Cons
My biggest issue was being suddenly switched to Blackboard after only using Moodle. My school offered group training and I attended several help sessions. Although the systems differ I find Blackboard to be superior in every way.

An Honest Review of Blackboard

Pros
I used Blackboard the most to get updates on grades, curriculum changes and other announcements from the faculty. It made navigating individual courses easier, especially when I needed to miss class. Over my four years of college, Blackboard was essential for my success.
Cons
I think the main drawback of Blackboard Learn is its aesthetics. Compared to other learning management systems like Canvas, the Blackboard Learn interface feels a bit outdated. However despite this main con, it was an overall fantastic tool during my undergraduate education.

How Blackboard Contributed to My College Success
How Blackboard Contributed to My College Success
Pros
Blackboard Learn has played a pivotal role in enhancing my college experience. It serves as an invaluable tool for universities nationwide, reducing the burden of paperwork through online assignments that automatically grade themselves, providing students with instant feedback. The ease of use of Blackboard benefits both students and professors, simplifying the management of college courses. It offers flexibility in formatting and facilitates productive discussions between professors and students through features like the discussion board.
Cons
During my freshman year in college, my university had just begun using Blackboard, leading to a slight learning curve for professors. They requested patience as they familiarized themselves with the platform. While this initial adjustment period was understandable, in subsequent years, professors had a firm grasp of the program, and such issues were no longer a concern.

How Blackboard Contributed to My College Success
How Blackboard Contributed to My College Success
Pros
Blackboard Learn has played a pivotal role in enhancing my college experience. It serves as an invaluable tool for universities nationwide, reducing the burden of paperwork through online assignments that automatically grade themselves, providing students with instant feedback. The ease of use of Blackboard benefits both students and professors, simplifying the management of college courses. It offers flexibility in formatting and facilitates productive discussions between professors and students through features like the discussion board.
Cons
During my freshman year in college, my university had just begun using Blackboard, leading to a slight learning curve for professors. They requested patience as they familiarized themselves with the platform. While this initial adjustment period was understandable, in subsequent years, professors had a firm grasp of the program, and such issues were no longer a concern.
