Zdzislaw B.

Mr Zee

Cons

“Security seems illogical and parents are not able to access their students account without using the student credentials, which is contrary to industry standard.”

Jenny B.

Registrar

“Well using Google Classroom if you do not have a stable internet connection you may run into some issues about submitting assignments.”

Claire S.

Employee

“Google Classroom currently has no whiteboard component for presentations or sharing notes.”

Maryam D.

Coordinator

Cons

“The layout of the video pages leaves little room for the video itself, and it does not allow for rotating the screen to enlarge the image.”

Eugenio G.

DevOps

“The appearance is a bit confused to understand the structure of lessons.”

Xuan H.

Data Analyst

“I don't find the program so easy to manage. When starting each study session I am presented with many "recommended", "by topics" or "games" options for training, when it would be more intuitive to continue directly from where I left off.”
