Cons

“The assignment deadlines notifications are so delayed, most of the time the notification doesnt even come through the app bit through emails. And the Emails arrive after the deadline passes which causes a big issue of missing the deadline.”

“Also, when I try to add a file and submit it, a lot of time it takes to many clicks to confirm it , I have already missed some deadlines because I forgot 1 of 5 confirms.”

“It took some time to figure out how to set it up on a free hosting platform as an administrator; I had issues with needing more server access than I had for free.”

Sarah C.

Cons

“The reporting features did not always provide the level of detail or customization needed and the assignment functionality felt somewhat limited, making it harder for admins.”
LJ

Lauren J.

Admin

“Having to manually check if any retiring courses have current progress enrollments, and sending out an email to the user to tell them that they need to complete it or it will not be accessible any more.”
LM

Lorraine M.

“Their license structure doesn't allow us to re-use licenses from past users, which is hard with our industry's turnover.”
