"Blackboard Review from Mid-Sized, Midwest School"
What do you like best about Blackboard Learn?

Powerful capabilities from multiple perspectives (teacher, student, administrator). Additional integrations added to an institution's Bb environment extends that capability even further.

There will always be varying comfort levels and capabilities with technology among faculty. Bb is a platform that even the most basic user can utilize.

Anthology makes a concerted effort to host a wide variety of training sessions, "roadmap" sessions to inform users of what's coming, user groups to connect users together, focus groups to solicit input, and other miscellaneous connection opportunities. The point is they actively seek input, share information, and connect the community together! Oh! And there's the Idea Exchange where end-users can submit an idea for others in the community to vote on -- those with the most votes, Anthology develops in Bb Learn.

As with any technical tool, it takes an investment of time to learn its functions and tools. After the initial learning curve, there is so much you can do, and it's a relatively straightforward system.

Anthology is actively working to enhance their products and capabilities on an on-going basis. It's great to see so many enhancements and new features rolled out each month.

Anthology is also making great strides in Bb Data by creating a dashboard for stakeholders to access along with pre-created reports users can easily pull to extract a variety of data points. There is a lot of valuable information in Blackboard and Bb Data is working to get it into the hands of end-users.

What do you dislike about Blackboard Learn?

Not always intuitive/easy-to-understand settings. However, I feel this is being addressed with Ultra Course View -- things are more intuitive and user-friendly.

Help articles/explanation tutorials are not as current as they could be. This makes it difficult to learn and understand. Anthology is currently working to address this and bring materials more current.

The transition to Ultra Course View is a huge undertaking for an institution. No question, it will be worth it, but it takes a large commitment of resources by the institution to prepare and make the transition. I would love to see more resources provided to Bb administrators in helping them to lead their school through this transition.

What problems is Blackboard Learn solving and how is that benefiting you?

Bb Learn is the primary teaching tool for our faculty and students. It provides a centralized location for course materials, assignment submission, communication, and collaboration.
