Learning with Blackboard

What are the best aspects of this product?

Blackboard makes sharing information simple, because all documents and announcements are on the website, and every user can download them on time. Additionally, I've never been this aware of my progress, since Blackboard allows me to calculate grades in advance, or at least to understand what I've been doing wrong. Miscommunication is minimal, both in cases of teachers and students, and I think this is why the entire college is about to implement Blackboard.

What aspects are problematic or could work better?

Not every teacher is using Blackboard, and even the ones that do are somehow reluctant to use allof its features. For instance, there are subject where the teacher sends materials and checks assignments online, but grades in classroom instead. As for my own experience, I could use a simple procedure to access or upload files. Right now, it takes so many clicks that I am actually considering skipping.

What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?

With such an open and broad system, I think even 'everything' stands for a good answer. You know that you've offered students information, you know that they can acces it from everywhere, and you definitely know that they won't be distracted by social media while doing this. Imagine communicating on Facebook instead! Well, some companies do that.
