Pros

“I really enjoyed being able to customize each page to include pictures, videos, and other graphics.”
OB

Olivia B.

Paralegal

“My over all experience was great because teaching assistants, resources, time, instructional tactics, and content organization are all facilitated by lesson planning, which also informs students of what they will learn and how their objectives will be evaluated.”
EB

Edgar B.

Customer Service Representative

“Overall, Lessonly is a good solution for small business or corporations with light training needs.”
LS

Lindsay S.

Learning and Development Specialist

Cons

“The main Bugs and Issues I have experienced are occasional pages not loading correctly, minor interface issues, or notifications becoming overwhelming when I have several courses active at the same time.”

Nikitha Y.

Graduate Student

“No customizability, the modules do not save your place or mark when you've already reviewed information, cannot remove old/unused classes, no customer support, highly complicated for professors.”
JB

“Sometimes it can be difficult to find certain assignments or course materials depending on how the instructor organizes the class.”
