#1: Every time you click on the app, you have to log in. I could overlook all of the other little inconsequential things that bug me about this app and give it 4 or 5 stars, but there are two major issues. It’s time.Īs a college student, I have been using Blackboard for 3 years now. I will be pushing my SGA to pressure our college to make the move towards Google Classroom. Since we are all online, I miss the type of classroom connections that Blackboard does not offer but plenty of other services make an effort to provide. I would like to get a notification if someone responds to my discussion, so I could reply back if they are asking a question. It would be great to give those more of a feed-like feeling, rather than an assignment. At times, it will only show certain assignments on the app, so when you log in on the computer, you see that there are many more parts or sections due. This app specifically doesn’t have a half of the capabilities we have on the computer, won’t even show an entire page of an assignment, makes it nearly impossible to find modules, won’t allow you to test or quiz (which I need since I work on an iPad and the mobile site is just as horrendous), and doesn’t support many basic functions we have come to expect. While this app is the backbone of schools in my region, they have been responsible for every grade of mine below an 90% due to their service being slow, time-consuming to learn thoroughly, and ineffective at training teachers who are forced to rely on the blackboard service. Aside from that, the app completely simplifies my experience with blackboard and I can’t believe I went 3 semesters without it.īlackboard is only popular because it reached the market in the first wave Please make sure you’re paying attention and don’t rely solely on the app for that!! Otherwise, you may find yourself in a rut of 0 in the grade book. This was my first week of class and there were about 3 assignments that weren’t displayed, but I was aware of because of a syllabus or class discussion. It may be due to the instructor, I have no idea, but I can see where my grades would become horrid after missing a few assignments every week. I have 3/4 of my classes online, so it really helps me to just click the “due dates” tap and be able to access each assignment that’s due soon.
The only issue I have is that the due dates tab is not fully accurate, at least for me.
I solely used blackboard on my laptop but had discovered my laptop broke the literal morning I started class, so I decided to download the app so I wouldn’t have to navigate blackboard on my phones browser and could more easily access my instructor’s pages. The app is very user friendly and easy to navigate.
