Pros

“You can enable interactive content, making branching scenario activities, award grades, or simply determine competency. ”
AD

Allison D.

Administration and Training

“Its very customisable for the professors/ tutors, and the assignment submission and viewing grade is simple too.”

“I particularly like being able to track my progress in a module thanks to the completion bars; it motivates me to keep going.”

Pros

“It has enhanced security so you would have to log in again.”
AS

Amy S.

Owner

“One thing that could be improved is the ability to see how the grade is impacted by a weight assigned by a professor as well as the ability to see what a score on an assignment would have a student finish the class grade-wise.”
DK

Dakota K.

Pastoral Intern

“Most of the time when something isn't working, I just call into Customer Support and one of their representatives is able to work with me to find a solution to our problem.”
AH

Amanda H.

Chief Operating Officer

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.

Independent Contractor and Edtech Expert

Cons

“It does not support competency based learning, and the features in the mobile app are very limited. As my impression of Populi is a team that respond to the needs of its customers quickly, I hope it can also catch up in this areas, especially the mobile app.”
