"Blackboard enables instructors to collectively gather all the grading data into one place. If students upload content or post it to a Google Doc, I can do my grading and calculate the grades. It is an excellent holding place for all of that data"
"One of the most important features is the possibility of creating unlimited subdomains."
"The modules and courses are flexible."
"It is scalable."
"Reduced the need for physically commuting between offices."
"Screenshare is the most valuable feature as well as the number of meeting participants possible in a meeting. It also has good quality."
"It was just chosen because somebody at the company said, "We need a meeting thing. Hey, go find a meeting thing." It wasn't me, but somebody else in the organization was like, "Alright, let's use GoToMeeting. It's free.""
"The most important feature for me was the iPhone app."
"GoToMeeting's low latency is crucial because everybody is using VPN to connect to their PCs at work. The sound and video quality are solid, and the whiteboarding features were especially useful. The administrative side of it was fairly simple and intuitive to use."
"The solution worked well specifically for audio meetings."
"We like that this solution allows us to assign separate numbers to people without having to have a physical telephone system in place."
"I like GoToMeeting because it is lighter than other solutions, such as Webex."
"It would be ideal to create a more responsive or more intuitive template for access from telephones or tablets."
"The system falls short in terms of managing assessments and exams effectively."
"The solution must provide better integration with third-party software."
"The solution is not flexible."
"Blackboard has limitations in terms of delivering content and assessing student assignments because it can't handle large file sizes. It's also limited in its ability to track student activity. Instructors can see the student's most recent login, but they can't follow the activity."
"Poor error recovery, too sensitive to transmission errors. Needs better codecs and more robust system software that can handle network glitches."
"The newer user interface takes a bit longer to get used to."
"The sound quality is good but the video quality needs improvement."
"GoToMeeting breaks down a lot. We're not sure if it's breaking down, but we start getting very erratic community channels. I don't know if it's because of GoToMeeting or if we're not buying enough bandwidth. Maybe it is just the infrastructure that it's running on. I'm not quite sure."
"I didn't like the fact that they tried to make their new version look like Zoom."
"The product itself doesn't stand out against other options on the market."
"Sometimes we'll run into issues where firewall rules aren't set correctly and won't work."
"The enrolment for a non-IT user should be easier. It should be simplified for non-IT users."
