"Trying to be Intuitive"
2.5/5
What do you like best about Blackbaud Learning Management System?

It’s organized. It looks new. It wants to be intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blackbaud Learning Management System?

I can’t get a bird’s eye view of an assessment, e.g. quiz. It’s only one student at a time. The gradebook opens in a new window not a new tab, which drives me crazy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Want teachers to love it"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Blackbaud Learning Management System?

We have used Google Classroom in the past and are piloting the LMS this year. The teachers and students really like that it has everything in one place. It is intuitive to use and easy to organize. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our students complain that there are too many clicks to add assignments. Teacher complain about the integration with Google. Most of our assignments involve Google Docs and that is a bit complicated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent when it works"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Blackbaud Learning Management System?

When it works, it really works. Tracking attendance, grades, etc. is all pretty simple and straightforward. It is very easy for all our students to use, as well as our teachers, and it really helps for homework and other assignments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blackbaud Learning Management System?

Sometimes, updates will be pushed through that completely mess something up. Also, certain parts of it are needlessly complicated, especially when trying to update old systems to the new ones. A good example of that is the back end for grading - grade plans, grade plan grades, grade plan groups, grade translations, etc. It's very unintuitive, and makes it difficult for us to update things like transcripts.

"I am an educator and use BB daily."
3.5/5
What do you like best about Blackbaud Learning Management System?

I appreciate the ability to have a lot of different information in one place. Grades, activities, contacts, the ability to send out communication. There have been a lot of great upgrades over the past few years that have definitely improved the usage for staff and student. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blackbaud Learning Management System?

The transcript setup is very outdated and while we have asked dozens of times for a few, very common upgrades, we have been told the system is "unable to accommodate" such a request. We see transcripts from other schools daily, and the vast majority include these efficiencies - but these schools use platforms other than BB.

One other concern I have is that often when using customer support we are told very different things based on who we speak with. One tech might say "that is not possible" and another might say "I can definitley help you with that." It can be discouraging to be told "no" only to speak with someone from another BB school who says "oh yeah, they helped me set that up." It seems like the support team does not all have the same information or knowledge base. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Many options that don't always work"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Blackbaud Learning Management System?

There is a wide assortment of options and functions it offers to the users of all sorts whether it's a teacher or student. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blackbaud Learning Management System?

It feels like there are often changes made (that aren't necessarily helpful on the user end) that lead to bugs that don't get fixed in a timely manner and Blackbaud support is only helpful so often. Often times, basic functions tend to abruptly stop working; items aren't displayed properly, files aren't able to get uploaded successfully. Ease of use varies frequently. Support also feels like a very hit or miss piece. It's frustrating that only some people can access support directly, not entirely sure if that's set by my place of work or by Blackbaud. Us admins usually have to contact support on behalf of teachers because they cannot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Blackbaud's LMS is easy to navigate and contains a wealth of information"
5/5
What do you like best about Blackbaud Learning Management System?

It is very helpful to have all student documents (testing, assessments, outside testing, etc.) all stored within the student's profile. As a school for students with learning differences, we refer to these documents frequently and teachers have quick access to them without having to switch to Google Docs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blackbaud Learning Management System?

While the LMS is very user-friendly, we have families who struggle with access. As a small school without an IT department, it takes a lot of time for our faculty /staff to assist families throughout the day. If Blackbaud had customer support for families, that would be an amazing improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
