Teacher Education Management ### "It's just fine" 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 6/10 September 15, 2025 Overall, onCampus was an average system to use. It worked fine for me but I would have liked to explore another option. 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. Switched from [Blackboard](https://www.capterra.com/p/14500/Blackboard-LMS-for-Business/) My school chose to make the switch. They wanted a more comprehensive system.

Director Education Management ### "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 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 6/10 July 22, 2025 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. 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.). Switched from [FACTS Learning Platform](https://www.capterra.com/p/10027962/FACTS-Learning-Platform/) [FACTS Student Information System](https://www.capterra.com/p/10027963/FACTS-Student-Information-System/) Trying to align all the various tools used to one provider (development, LMS, tuition, finance, etc.).

Coordinator of Registration and Dorm Parent Education Management ### "Information all in one place - easy to use " 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 October 11, 2018 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. 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.

Teacher ### "This is a great platform that our school uses." 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 0/10 February 12, 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.

Technology Manager Education Management ### "Needs a lot of development" 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 2.0 2.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 0/10 December 6, 2017 Pros The primary selling point is that it integrates well with the other Blackbaud On Products and the reporting is basic at best. 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.

CM Carolanne M. teacher ### "onCampus is very user-friendly on the teacher end, though a bit less so for the students. " 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 October 11, 2017 It combines a gradebook with a place for students to turn in assignments and a way to contact students. Very convenient and easy to learn and use. Saves time compared to previous software that I used. Pros I like its integration with turnitin.com. I also like how I can download submitted assignments so that I can grade them offline. Cons Students sometimes have issues with submitting blank documents. Occasionally the formatting of a document they submit is altered.

LS Laurie S. ### "I don't really have an issue with on campus but I don't think it's that user friendly." 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 0/10 September 27, 2017 Pros I like the fact that I can upload documents but there have been some recent changes that make it difficult to do certain things. Cons It is not user friendly. Many times we are told it is down or something needs to be updated.I have used Skyward at a different school and it seems much more user friendly.

I had a good experience!" 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 7/10 July 18, 2017 Pros Commenting on class projects was pretty easy. Submitting work was also easy. Getting in contact with professors was probably the slowest of the objectives. I didn't use this for my current career, but I used it right before. Cons It usually seemed to take professors a lot longer to get back to the students with Blackbaud. I don't know if they were getting notified or what, but they were definitely the slowest aspect of using this system vs. direct email.
