Parents find the interface easy to use and like the system. > > **Cons**: The only available reporting are columns and rows data. It lacks interactive matrices and graphically advance metric tools that allow us to manipulate data on the fly. The number of steps it takes to mine data seems very excessive. We encounter quite a few problems with the online submission component using iPads and mobile devices. The website is mobile friendly, but the tactile interface on a mobile device is very challenging. They would be better off developing an actual app with a fined tuned interface. ----- ### "Simple LMS to add-on for those who use Blackbaud for other things (better LMS options exist for those not limited in their choices)." — 4.0/5 > **Phillip** | *22 July 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Blackbaud LMS is part of the Blackbaud suite of tools, so it is really ideal for trying to get all the programs you use across a school in one overall system. The LMS itself is very usable. It is not the most advanced, updated, or visually appealing, but it gets the job done consistently which is very important in education (less glitches and downtime equals a big positive to me). I would say for a simple reliable system, it is great. For a system that integrates to many third party services in really user friendly ways, not so much. > > **Cons**: It is very limited in it's ability to be connected to third party programs in a one-way data transfer, much less a bi-directional communication link. In most cases, to do this or attempt to do it, you need coding experience and the ability to create customized applications via their SKY API and SDK. Another huge downfall is their sever limitations with specialized learning modules like MTSS progress monitoring, Accommodation and learning plan management, etc. The current system allows for simple text based input that generates a PDF file, but the ability to run reports on the data input for all students is either limited (i.e. batch print) or non-existent (i.e. running reports on students in certain classes to export accommodations evaluation dates, etc.). > > I am a front end user as a faculty/staff member, administrator, resource manager, and learning profile manager. I have helped parents navigate and manage the parent side, extensively. I have worked on third-party integrations with API and SDK. ----- ### "It's just fine" — 3.0/5 > **Angela** | *15 September 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Blackbaud's onCampus LMS works well with Google Drive. You are able to customize pages fairly easily once you get the hang of it. The testing center works well for reporting grades. It is fairly easy for students to navigate. > > **Cons**: The system was really tricky for creating tests and assessments. The drag and drop system is not as easy as it appears. It was also not always intuitive. There are some kind of "buried" settings and reports that were harder to adjust if you didn't know they were there. It was not conducive to student-teacher interaction either. > > Overall, onCampus was an average system to use. It worked fine for me but I would have liked to explore another option. ----- ### "Information all in one place - easy to use" — 5.0/5 > **Sharon** | *11 October 2018* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I work for a Boarding Arts Highs school as a dorm parent. With 60 girls in our dorm, it is great to be able to find all the information you need about a stdudent in one central place. It's great that OnCampus can track grades and attendance. One of the biggest advantages of this system, it that it allows students (or parents) to see their grades for a class at any time and allows them to know how they are doing in that class on a weekly basis rather than waiting for a progress report. Students are able to take quizzes through the system and check their homework assignments all in one place. OnCampus allows teachers to select how much each assignment and different type of assessment is worth in the makeup of the overall grade. No tedious calculation, you can either choose percentages or points. OnCampus has helped bring our High school into the 21 centuary with this technology and allows work to be simplified rather than keeping grades on paper and then having to submit them to the registrar for upgrading online. It is very uservriendly. > > **Cons**: At this time I have not found anything that I do not like about this system. > > Overall easy to use for both students, teachers, and parents. Very easy to navigate and find the information you need. I love the ability of the software to create groups. One of the ways that we used the group features is for dorm assignments, so that you can easily find all the students that live in one dorm simply by selecting the appropriate group. ----- ### "This is a great platform that our school uses." — 5.0/5 > **Michael** | *12 February 2018* > > **Pros**: As a teacher this is my one stop for all my classes everyday. From attendance to assignments to grades, OnCampus has everything I need to run an iPad enabled classroom. I don't have to worry about handing out paper assignments or homework getting lost--the program time stamps when students upload completed assignments. The Topics section allows me to upload articles and content for students to access. Finally, the messaging system allows you to contact individual students, entire classes/sections, and parent/guardians. > > **Cons**: There use to be a problem with a long lag time in viewing assignments that students had submitted for grading. However, this has been addressed and the new system functions much more effectively. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2057540/blackbaud-lms?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2057540/blackbaud-lms) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
