"Developing Faster than before, collaboration with customers"
What do you dislike about Blackboard?
At times they seem to chase the "next thing" in tech vs. going after core functionality that is actually useful in real world use cases.

Lots of transparency but that always feels off Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is very little I dislike! The recently added Design Assistant features put Blackboard on a different level to any other VLE.
The ability to quickly and safely generate new content such as quizzes, assignments, discussion boards, journals and images is a game changer for any academic who is wanting to enhance their teaching, learning and assessment workflows.
Every staff member that has attended one of our training sessions where I introduce Design Assistant has nothing but wonder, amazement and a "how do I get my hands on this!" attitude after the sessions.
All of the above, although my favourite part of BBU should distract from how every other aspect of the software is perfectly designed and balanced to produce unbelievably learning opportunities to provide students the best experiences while at our University. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As mentioned above, there is very little I dislike about BBU. I would like to see Blackboard thinking about introducing more of a Gamification style strategy to the formative test tool. Think about how successful Kahoot and Quizizz have been. Could we see a more gamified user interface with the new GenAI Design Assistant still working in the background?
