Opmerkingen: Students are satisfied with it.

After the pandemic, Blackboard Learn became a staple for online education

Pluspunten:

I like that it organizes courses in a very neat way, the website is easy to navigate and looks great visually. The calendar is very helpful.

Minpunten:

It's not very easy to use for teachers. They often have a hard time understanding all of the features Blackboard provides.

A helpful LMS from the student perspective.

Opmerkingen: I think that overall it was functional and did the job. I think there is room for improvement, but it functions in the way you'd expect from an LMS.

Pluspunten:

I liked that you could set it to send reminders about when upcoming assignments were due. It was very helpful from that perspective.

Minpunten:

I thought the user interface was clunky and needed work. It was sometimes hard to navigate and there would often be times where students would have to ask how to do something in the platform.

Blackboard Learn for Aiken Technical College's Embedded Librarian Program

Opmerkingen: 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.

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

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.

A Comprehensive and Versatile Learning Management System

Opmerkingen: Blackboard Learn offers many benefits but it's essential to consider its cons. The complexity, reliability, unintuitive features, and cost can be significant factors to consider when deciding whether to use Blackboard Learn for online learning.

Pluspunten:

Blackboard Learn allows instructors to create engaging and interactive course materials, such as videos, quizzes, and discussion forums, which can promote collaboration and critical thinking among students. Additionally, the platform's compatibility with various devices means that students can access course materials from anywhere, at any time. Finally, Blackboard Learn's ability to integrate with other educational technologies and tools, such as plagiarism checkers and online libraries, makes it a versatile and valuable tool for online education.

Minpunten:

While Blackboard Learn offers a range of features, some of them are not as intuitive as they could be. For example, the grading system can be difficult to navigate, and the discussion forums can be overwhelming and challenging to manage effectively.
