It can do some basic functions but there are some functions it cannot do such as grading a paper and sending the edited version to the student.

Performance of Blackboard Classroom Across Market Features
Blackboard Classroom Likes & Dislikes
It saves time and is great in terms of visualization. Communication is made easy.
Able to give tests and quizzes and have them graded automatically. Saves earlier versions of courses Keeps track of submitted assignments
I like that it supports different types of multimedia and integrates now I can look at PDFs and can use links to different courses and its reminder features keep me on track and notify me with the due dates.
Sometimes the interface looks kind of outdated. Many clicks and double checks before things get posted on this LMS.
As mentioned previously, edited documents cannot be included when the students receive their grade For attendance, there is not a calendar to easily go to a different date to mark attendance. Instead, each previous day has to be clicked on in order to get to an earlier date. For quizzes and tests, the cut or copy function shortcuts do not work
I hope it has an interesting interface as of today's date as its competitors because its interface looks so outdated and its notifications are so inconsistent which cause missing due dates many times.

Good Learning Tool for Both Mobile and Desktop
4.0Dec 20, 2019
Watching two videos simultaneously for both content of lecturer and lecturer himself/herself is a very positive functionality. I could not be able to download two videos, only one of them was available to download, this could be improved. Accessing grades can be improved, it is taking time to reach grades, a shortcut might help.

A Wonderful Communication Tool between Parents and Teachers
4.0Mar 10, 2019
I used it quite a bit one year while teaching and really liked it because I could record a personal phone message and tell my student's parents exactly what I wanted them to know or when a report was due. I felt it to be a very powerful tool since the parents actually heard the teacher's voice and not a recorded message.
