The number of tools integrated within the Blackboard so that multiple URLs and passwords need to be managed is a breath of fresh air.

With a large company comes great support and account management. Blackboard's team will be there to help train you and support you.

It's super easy to navigate and find all your resources on. It's well organized and I love it.

Good value for money, very convinient, multi task, contemporary, easy to use teaching tool.

I love the features of the built-in web based tools, gives access to multiple methods of communication, gives access for easy customisation of course pages.

Using blackboard makes me so frustrated I hate when I have to use it every day. I do not recommend this software to anyone.

Very easy to navigate for first time users. The interface is updated and clean to use, not like a 1990s system look.

This is a persistent problem that everyone in our school has verified.

If you have the support from your school's IT department, this software can be great. I've used it when working for different schools and used it as a student user.

Supports integration with many external tools.

Truly horrid, and now that most of our work is going to be online for awhile, teachers just can't afford to be hamstrung by this abysmal program any longer.

This is our LMS system and we are in general very happy with it.

I like that my school district can organize the design that they deem best for their community.

There is also a language barrier that makes troubleshooting more difficult than it should be.

I found blackboard a great complement to in-person learning. As a developing high school student I found it easy to navigate.

Blackboard Learn is a frustrating platform to use.

Blackboard has all the necessary tools to create a great and effective online learning environment. There are so many LTI tools you can integrate into Blackboard to be successful.

The software is very traditional. It has great capabilities for pulling information out across courses and makes evaluating courses easy.

I think Blackboard is better than Canvas, but maybe not better than Moodle. It has some flexibility but perhaps not as much as Moodle has.

But once our organization switched to canvas, I realized Blackboard has some catching up to do, in terms of ease of use and integration.

It seems pretty stable and certainly is more stable than Canvas.

Hard to use software that is also very expensive.

I liked how this software is very easy for students. Instructors can give assignments, show grades, and upload attachments.

I don't like how Blackboard constant go through changes and is often down or having technical issues that'll need to be passed onto customer service.

Interface is confused but have too much posibilites for take different way to make the class and evaluations.

Overall, Blackboard Learn is a pretty good experience. Students are able to access many things.

Great ability to integrate other platforms (ie. youtube). Easy for teacher to manage course content.

Because this is in a university setting our IT department has been responsible for customer support and software purchases. Overall my experience with Blackboard has been very positive.

It was great at the time but we ended up replacing it with a home-grown system that was very similar. I wonder if it was pricey or the customizable options weren't what the university needed.

Avoid this program at all costs. Use literally anything else.

Blackboard is easy to use,exams are easy to deploy,announcements are very good and even the bullet-in board is a very handy feature.

As a TA, i have to use blackboard to build exams and quizzes for my students and i absolutely hate it. It is the least intuitive process and is a major pain in the butt.

I was easily able to access my grades, assignments, schedules and navigate with ease. Blackboard tech support was very responsive to any issues.

It is also difficult to navigate the grade center.

It has a bad UI and does not integrate well with other software solutions.

I don't know how it's priced, but I'm sure it can't be worth whatever the administrators are saving.

Blackboard is wonderful for students, it is very easy to use and they constantly do updates that help improve the system.

We ran our own host and it had nothing but problems, and I am not talking hardware. Every time we went to run an update, it broke something.

At times can be difficult to navigate around. There are a ton of things you can click on, can be easy to get lost at times.

I felt very confident in creating courses after a very short amount of time. Also, I like that once content has been added to the library, I can put together a new course in 10 minutes.

The platform is rapidly improving with more features and improved User/Admin Interfaces. Easily the best Learning Platform I have worked with or interacted with as a Student.

The platform structure (Library items placed into Collections) make multiple course variations very easy - saving significant amounts of time. Extensive Integrations with Zapier and Segment.

We all sing the praises of this programme and the kind people behind it.

Intuitive to use and flexible enough to meet the needs of our students/learners.

I love how responsive the development team is when I need them and how the system is always improving. I really like how as an admin I can switch over to study mode to see what a learner would see.

Previously, we held exams over Zoom, with the exam paper on a Word document. This posed various issues with cheating etc.

Ease of moving from a static unusable system to Synap LMS platform allows us more freedom to incorporate the features we required for our company.

There is inherent lack of end-user integration, common to all on-line courses.

Outstanding support and attention to detail. We really appreciated reps going above and beyond to help us prepare for the pilot.

My overall experience with Synap has been very positive.

A lot of our users wouldn't be that comfortable with online resources like this but the simplicity of the platform allows our students to learn and gain knowledge quickly & easily.

We used the program for online examinations. It was incredibly easy to use.

But, this team got every single student through the exam with a professional attitude, support and kindness.

The customer support, customization of reports super fast results, responsiveness.

The features we like most about Synap are the spaced learning, mock exams, and the customer support we receive by the Synap team.

Occasionally it may take time for requests to be fulfilled but this is only a slight annoyance, the standard at which they are fulfilled completely outweighs the negative of this.

Synap's user-friendly interface ensures ease of use and navigation.5. Integration with existing business processes is seamless, simplifying the incorporation of learning materials into workflows.

Synap: the constant certainty in an uncertain strange world.

Helpful chat feature, when needed. Got great feedback from our examinees, who used the platform for educational testing.

The best thing about the system is how straightforward it is to learn how to use it.

If I hear of the examination experiences that so many of the other universities had I am so lucky that I found this company.

There is only one small issue that we have faced. We have clients in the NHS and one of the small problems we have is the deliverability of invitations to learners with NHS email addresses.
