Find out what your peers are saying about CYPHER LEARNING, Moodle, Google and others in Learning Management Systems (LMS)."Blackboard enables instructors to collectively gather all the grading data into one place. If students upload content or post it to a Google Doc, I can do my grading and calculate the grades. It is an excellent holding place for all of that data"
"The modules and courses are flexible."
"It encompasses various components, including course delivery modules, content management, community engagement features, digital classrooms, and mobile integration."
"One of the most important features is the possibility of creating unlimited subdomains."
"It is scalable."
"The solution worked well specifically for audio meetings."
"We like that this solution allows us to assign separate numbers to people without having to have a physical telephone system in place."
"It's cost-effective."
"I like GoToMeeting because it is lighter than other solutions, such as Webex."
"It works, it's reliable."
"The key advantage of GoToMeeting is the ability to use it without installing anything."
"It was just chosen because somebody at the company said, "We need a meeting thing. Hey, go find a meeting thing." It wasn't me, but somebody else in the organization was like, "Alright, let's use GoToMeeting. It's free.""
"We don't have any link issues whether you use it to browser, or use it as a client. It worked perfectly fine for us."
"The solution must provide better integration with third-party software."
"Blackboard has limitations in terms of delivering content and assessing student assignments because it can't handle large file sizes. It's also limited in its ability to track student activity. Instructors can see the student's most recent login, but they can't follow the activity."
"The solution is not flexible."
"It would be ideal to create a more responsive or more intuitive template for access from telephones or tablets."
"The system falls short in terms of managing assessments and exams effectively."
"GoToMeeting is too slow, which is why we no longer use it."
"Using GoToMeeting in a meeting-sized conference room is kind of a letdown. The camera is supposed to track the speaker and focus on that person so that they can be on the screen. That feature rarely worked. We tested it thoroughly, so maybe it was an issue with the size of the conference room. It may not be suitable for large conference rooms."
"Manageability needs to be improved."
"The sound quality is good but the video quality needs improvement."
"The solution could always be more secure."
"The solution could scale a bit easier if you need to add more people to meetings."
"It is not so stable."
"Sometimes we'll run into issues where firewall rules aren't set correctly and won't work."
