Blackboard is the largest education technology and services company in the world, serving nearly 100 million users in countries in every region around the globe. Their mission is to inspire a love of learning, empower excellence in education and drive continuous improvement. I think Blackboard and Moodle is similar because of learning management system.
- Main features of Blackboard are;
collaborate integration, grading enhancements, SafeAssign, portfolio, data management, course enrollment, calendar, retention center, group management, student preview, enhanced cloud profile, social learning, Blackboard drive, active collaboration, content editor, dynamic content. Also, Blackboard works on all types of tablets and smartphones, so users can access wherever they may be.
Also according to this ''The Effectiveness of Blackboard System, Uses and Limitations in Information Management'' article, advantages of the Blackboard system are numerous and it says ''Blackboard provides collaborative and user-friendly environment for teaching-learning in terms of communication, assessment, and over all information management system. Thus, constructivists call for conducive e-learning environments that represent Blackboard system that has the capacity to improve learning outcome. Knowledge construction occurs through more interactive experiences as richer media tools are there in Blackboard environment. It is also evident that higher interactivity can lead to higher learner engagement that in turn impacts positively on better learning outcome and pedagogical gain. However, absence of incentives such as training, financial rewards, positive attitudes and behaviours are factors that limit the use of e-learning technology. Thus, training is an important factor to facilitate maximum utilisation of Blackboard in terms of enhanced knowledge, skills and attitudes.''
