"Long-Time User of BB"
What do you like best about Blackboard?

I think all of the changes to Blackboard Ultra are fantastic. It is a huge improvement over previous versions! The integration of AI in creating assessments is a big feature for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blackboard?

I think Blackboard needs to be designed with more of a focus on today's college student. The learning curve is too high and the kids just don't have the patience or attention span to devote to the tool to master it. They give up way too soon and have a sour attitude about it based on their user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
