If you are a novice, it becomes a little harder to navigate ----- ### "Blackboard as a home base for college students" — 4.0/5 > **Gerald** | *24 February 2022* | Design | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that it is fairly easy to use. Users don’t require extensive training to be able to use the product, and I like that as a student I can upload assignments and get learning modules from the same place, so it is convenient. > > **Cons**: I think the user interface design is a bit outdated. It is less appealing than other LMS such as canvas learn. I also hear a lot of my professors complain about how complicated it is on their side to navigate blackboard due to the repetitiveness and redundancy of blackboard. > > I had a fairly pleasant experience with blackboard, i was able to do much of the tasks I expect to be able to do on an LMS. I just wish that the design interface would be more simple and modern. Also more functionalities and integrations would be nice. Eg: opening a pdf file on blackboard directly instead of a redirection to a page or a pop up ----- ### "Blackboard Learn for Aiken Technical College's Embedded Librarian Program" — 5.0/5 > **Newkirk** | *9 February 2023* | Libraries | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I can post a variety of media in the Announcements section and in the Content Areas. The more options I can give students to access the information they need, the better. > > **Cons**: There may be a way to do this and I haven't figured out how yet, but I would like to be able to transfer a whole content area from one course to another instead of starting from scratch each time. > > I post announcements about our Library's online resources and also monitor a Discussion Board thread called "Ask a Librarian." I get plenty of questions in the Discussion Board and also in response to the announcements, especially closer to assignment due dates. ----- Page: 1 / 23\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.co.nz/software/2045/blackboard-lms-for-business?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.co.nz/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
