Everything about it makes sense and navigation is easy. The system does the math for accurate grade recording and stores information for as long as needed in order to verify work submitted and grades recorded. > > **Cons**: My least favorite thing was being thrust into Blackboard initially after using only Moodle. Our school offered some group training and I took advantage of several help sessions, too. The systems are different, but I believe Blackboard to be superior in every way. > > Blackboard is a teacher's friend\! It stores work securely and lets the user add grades to the gradebook when work sometimes finds it way through outside email systems. Blackboard also has tutorial videos for dealing with new issues. ----- ### "Good not yet great" — 3.0/5 > **Geeta** | *10 January 2025* | Civic & Social Organization | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is an organized system, fairly easy to navigate but not as user friendly than other products. > > **Cons**: The email system and the Discussions forums, they could be further developed to become easier to navigate > > Its a good tool if you are an intermediate technology user. If you are a novice, it becomes a little harder to navigate ----- ### "Wow..an excellent online Learning platform" — 5.0/5 > **Tanay** | *30 July 2021* | Consumer Electronics | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: My assignments and materials are organized in one place. As of the most recent update, it is now much easier to use than it used to be. Assigning assignments and adding details to classes has never been simpler. Now, it's much easier to use than it was before. The process of giving students feedback and organizing my responses is simple. It's also how I communicate with them. As a result, it's easy to refer back to them and remember what I said. I also like that Blackboard integrates well with other apps. When it comes to presentations, I rely heavily on VoiceThread and Panopto. GoReact and Top Hat are also on my to-do list. > > **Cons**: An update to the mobile app is still in order. There is a lot of work to be done on this project. On the web, the user experience was much better. > > Pandemic-related problems with submitting assignments and accessing information for my online and face-to-face classes. It has become increasingly apparent to me as I progress through graduate school that this site will be useful not only for my coursework, but also for group presentations and collaboration with other students. ----- ### "How a big platform loose the ranking" — 4.0/5 > **Eugenio** | *15 December 2020* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the advertisements they did in the past, everyone knew how expensive and famous it was. > > **Cons**: They did not innovate, they both a lot of little competitors and lately they are selling them because that strategy has lost again more innovative platforms and cheaper. > > The mobolebapp is not functional, there is no gamification nor maestries. ----- Page: 1 / 23\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/2045/blackboard-lms-for-business?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/2045/blackboard-lms-for-business) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
