Great product!

What differentiates Blackboard Learn from other similar products?
Functionality and reliability are solid on this product. You pay highly for it, but it's worth it.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Reporting, tests/quizzes (can lock down and add timers) to name a couple aspects. This product is used by many Community College students over North Carolina, so that's saying something.
What do you dislike most about this product?
I remember Business decision management saying the cost was high, but had more functionality & quality than Moodle.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Make sure you have several admins and high-level folks fully test it once implemented. If there's a checkbox setting out of place/not enabled or enabled when it shouldn't be, it can cause a lot of issues. It's been some time since I've seen the admin console, but there are a ton of options, even on the instructor's access level.
Pros
- Helps Innovate
- Continually Improving Product
- Reliable
- Performance Enhancing
