"Blackboard Ultra"
4/5
What do you like best about Blackboard?

Blackboard Ultra is really intuitive and user friendly for the newer generation. Students have enjoyed using and have not needed much instruction to use the system well. It also adjusted to the screen size making it easier to use in tablets and smartphones. As a faculty user, I really enjoy the grade center and the ability to view all assignments for a specific student. We have never had issues with support, and they usually answer in a timely manner.

What do you dislike about Blackboard?

Learn with the new update to Ultra is a great improvement with stability and flexibility. Awesome, improvement on the course design with flexibility and the AI designer.

"lack of subject line in Blackboard messages. Blackboard geniuses, try this with your work email!"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Blackboard?

In Ultra, it is easier to get things done compared to Learn Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blackboard?

Not having a subject line in Blackboard messages and having a long thread instead of an individual email with a subject line, is annoying. I dare you, Blackboard geniuses to try it with your work email and your clients so you feel what faculty feel. I wonder what made you remove the subject line? How does that bother you. Why don't you listen to faculty, at the end, they are the ones using what you create. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

4.5/5
What do you like best about Blackboard?

Ultra is a sleek and user-friendly LMs. It is easy to create content as an instructor and help guide my students through the course. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blackboard?

My least favorite part of Bb is the lack of features compared to Original. Ultra is making improvements, but any of the functions of Original are not present in Ultra. Some of this is for accessibility or other considerations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
