Blackboard Collaborate Review

PROS: At the comfort of your own homes, I can have a classroom learning experience. This gave me the opportunity to learn and relax at the same time.

CONS: Joining sessions can take some time.

PROS: For all the features it offers, Blackboard Collaborate is a very cheap alternative to other online class applications. I can share content with my students, separate them into groups, and even record lectures.

CONS: Nothing to dislike. It has everything I need for online class discussions.

PROS: This made web-conference way easier for my workmates and me.

CONS: Though I appreciate being able to see my whole team while at a conference, the screens can be confusing at times.

PROS: Love the many features Blackboard Collaborate offers. I can teach students through video or chat. I can meet them in a group or individually. It almost feels like I am teaching them in person.

CONS: It can be quite difficult to use for me because of the several features it offers.

PROS: Absolutely easy to navigate. I can easily identify the functions I need for my class.

CONS: At times, it is difficult to find modules. Maybe the layout of this can be improved.

PROS: This is a very useful tool that allows me to meet my students online and at a time slot we both agree on. I am very pleased that I don't have to travel long distances just to meet my students. And to make it better, Blackboard Collaborate allows students to record the lectures for future reference.

CONS: I hope that Blackboard Collaborate will consider bringing back the grade tool. It was a useful tool for my students and me, as we can collaborate sessions through the grade book.

PROS: Our community college is switching to Blackboard Collaborate because of the amazing features it offers. It allows us to teach students remotely and to schedule appointments with them. It also allows students to send in their work so we can help them in areas they are having difficulty with.

CONS: There is not much to fault about Blackboard Collaborate, however, I'd like it if they can offer a function to join more sessions together. This way we can invite guest speakers to impart their knowledge to the students.

PROS: This made collaborations easier for our team. We have remote workers that we need to give instructions from time to time and I can honestly say that Blackboard Collaborate helped a great deal with our task delegation.

CONS: Nothing to dislike. I am in love with this product.

PROS: I enjoy the real-time collaboration this application provides. I can easily share screens with my students and they can actively participate too. To add to this, file uploads and sharing documents are fast and convenient.

CONS: I noticed that some of my students lose connection while I'm on a live session. I think Blackboard Collaborate should work on this as it interrupts the lesson flow. Also, I suggest to redesign the eraser tool as some students think it will only erase a portion of the page, but actually erases the whole page.

PROS: I loved how all of my projects are organized. I can see the assignments I've already accomplished and those that are due.

CONS: I hope there will be some kind of tutorial for new users so we can familiarize ourselves with the application's functions.

PROS: I love the different functions this application offers. My students and I can interact in various ways: audio, video, text, whiteboard, or poll. I can even separate them into smaller groups for team projects or discussions.

CONS: My first time using the app, there were small icons of the students' faces. Now, that it has been removed, I feel more distant with my students. I hope Blackboard Collaborate can put it back.

PROS: It's a very user-friendly application where professors can conduct their classes online. I can even show multiple screens while teaching. The best part is that students can actively participate through comments.

CONS: Although it isn't frequent, I encountered some connection issues while using this application.

PROS: It has tools that enhance the student's learning. They can interact with the instructor while s/he is teaching.

CONS: There are some lags while using the application.

PROS: With Blackboard Collaborate, I can easily look at my grades for all courses.

CONS: There are some issues of connectivity. There were also times where instructors cannot view my work.
