I have been an LMS administrator and faculty with Blackboard Learn for 16 years, so my answers have some background. I particularly like Blackboard Learn Ultra's intuitive way to populate the course components and the variety of tools available to do it. The instructor or professor can start with a course outline or ask for one from Generative AI; then, populate the outline by adding components from top to bottom. Various components, such as text pages, links, quizzes, and written assignments, can be added. Anything can be revised, augmented, or moved. I also like also the degree of integration that Blackboard has achieved with different providers such as Pearson, Alex, Respondus, etc.; these are easily selected and integrated with the course.

I think it provides the bare minimum of an LMS and that's the thing I do like about it. Beyond that it falls short on a lot of things.

I find the interface very easy to navigate, with highly useful tools for taking classes, such as videoconferencing rooms and discussion sections. Additionally, submitting assignments is simple, and it’s just as easy to review them later.
