I could attend class from home instead of driving to campus.
What do you dislike about the product?
Depending on the internet connection, the host would cut off.

Perhaps in editing and splicing videos, as well as with sound quality, so that they will be conducive for my classes and especially my students. Also, matters like integration during discussions and log-in may affect the quality and quantity of student participation.

It's ok
What do you like best about the product?
I like the classroom board tool, which makes it easier for those who learn graphically. It allowed me to draw an image or do a quick calculation.
What do you dislike about the product?
While there was no app or software, the thing I disliked the most was trying to edit a meeting after it had been scheduled. Sometimes, I had to delete the planned meeting and create a new one.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The Covid-19 pandemic meant that we had to change the way we operate. Hence, BB Collaborate assisted in communicating with different members of the team off-site. It also helped in conducting training sessions.
Useful, but slightly difficult to navigate
What do you like best about the product?
Blackboard collaborate combines video calls with a software we already use (Blackboard). This meant that links did not need to be sent or searched for ahead of time.
What do you dislike about the product?
It was hard to find the correct chat room in use at times. I believe that it can be more streamlined and user friendly. Many times, students would end up in the wrong class. Also, recordings should be easier to find.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Blackboard Collaborate is automatic and removes the needs to send meeting information prior to the meeting. I think the new features have made it more comparable to Zoom.

No more commuter fee and traditional classrooms which save time.
