The blackboard MLS faces certain threats. One of them is the competition from open source MLS such as the Moodle MLS. The second one is that it has a very high switching cost for prospective clients hence making it undesirable to them. The third threat is reduced cost of education budgets which means that people will go for cheaper learning management systems rather than the blackboard MLS (Chaudhari, 2017).
The Moodle MLS is the preferred platform for the organization. This is because it is free to acquire and it is relatively easy to use. The platform also integrates with google APPS unlike the blackboard. The blackboard also faces the challenge of pages not loading correctly (Chaudhari, 2017).
