Boosts student engagement and simplifies course management with creative tools

The best features of CYPHER Learning that I enjoy most include the course management system, gamification, blogging, and debating tools that cater to increasing creative thinking, creative writing, and problem-solving. Gamification and these specific tools make it easy for my students to navigate and manage numerous courses within one class while keeping up with my standards for my curriculum, where my students can see their mastery and performance on assignments. I find it extremely beneficial because our curriculum in schools is data-driven. This allows me to easily obtain data from the content-specific standards assigned to each assignment. I can assess what concepts I need to review and identify what the students have mastered. This transparency also enables the students to see their own progress.

Flexible e-learning has supported multi-campus growth but still needs more open themes and plugins

I think they should actually provide some more free versions of most of their themes. I think most of the things you have to use on Edly are all paid for you to have a good experience. I think they should work on making some open-source plugins or themes that people can also explore. Because Moodle itself is actually open-source, but if you want to go for the paid Moodle, you can still use the free one, but there are some restrictions in Edly that if they can just add some free themes, it will still make it not seem as though they are not selling, but it will attract more users to explore what they have as a solution.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"It's just fully managed online and manages the whole process from the start of the student engagement all the way through their training, communicating with them via the platform, and completion of their training. It's one of the few platforms that just works."

"We have already generated so many savings with this platform that it's paid out, and it's not a huge investment."

"Thanks to this, our school has exceptionally high results on the Ministry of Education tests."

"I mainly use the storage folders that allow students to upload their work in an organized way. By providing a large storage capacity, the system allows students to upload videos and images. I can also rate students and give them feedback with comments or stickers."

"It's very easy to monitor and check student progress. I can go in and, with a couple of clicks, see any participant and where they are in the process."

"It is very easy for educators to communicate with students using the CYPHER Learning messaging system, which is imperative for our organization."

"If you want a space that allows you to work on skills, formative evaluation, the interaction between teachers and students, and that gives you the ability to reinforce learning, CYPHER Learning is a very good tool."

"Customer service is really great."

More CYPHER Learning pros

"There's no way you can build a solution that you cannot easily customize, which is actually the powerful feature of Edly."

"Edly ties up with the world's best educational institutions and provides the best courses with reasonable time frames to finish the modules, which is something I appreciate most about Edly."

"Edly has positively impacted my organization by giving our employees confidence to perform well, especially when dealing with critical projects."

"Edy made content delivery more efficient than other tools that I was using previously."

Cons

"I would also like to see improvement to the mobile app, because our students are mobile-first. In our day-to-day interaction with students, if they can do everything on their mobile phones, that would be what they would appreciate the most."

"There are some analytics issues that need to be resolved, including the item analysis."

"Perhaps there could be advances in artificial intelligence with more precise and immediate automated reports so that teachers have reports at hand. That would make things easier and would speed up processes."

"There needs to be greater granularity of user packages. We don't always have 100 users per month. However, we pay for 100."

"There is further work to be done on the translation accuracy of international languages."

"I would also like CYPHER Learning to constantly give training days for all the institutions that work with them. We recently had face-to-face training, but this could be done more frequently."

"The user interface looks dated compared to more modern learning management systems, which are really clean. There is so much functionality that it almost becomes too much for the user, so the user interface could be improved."

"Due to the complexity of our business, we would welcome more options for access rights management."

More CYPHER Learning cons

"I sometimes find issues with even the finished modules in Edly where I cannot proceed to the next module and must restart the same modules."

"Edly can be improved by addressing the limitation in integration with third-party platforms."

"It was simple enough to use, but I could not make a significant difference in terms of efficiency compared to other platforms such as Blackboard or Moodle."

"I think they should work on making some open-source plugins or themes that people can also explore."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Overall, the pricing of CYPHER Learning is okay. There are cheaper solutions that offer way fewer features and there are more expensive and more capable solutions, but they might be overkill for many companies that are not big enough. It's about balance. CYPHER Learning is in the middle; not very expensive, not very cheap."

"It has helped us save from 90% to 100% of our costs. The most valuable thing that we have earned in the last three years is time, e.g., my personal time versus my work time. There is more harmony."

"The main reason we went for it was cost, which was very reasonable."

"CYPHER LEARNING is very flexible when it comes to pricing. They hear out their customers and see where they can help them as far as cost is concerned."

"It's affordable, but they have doubled the pricing at random times. That's a problem. They have to change that for forecasting purposes."

"CYPHER Learning is more cost-efficient for us compared to others."

"If you go for an open source solution, you're going to find out that the costs in the long run end up being a lot more, and the process is frustrating."

"Because our cost went down by 50%, I would say that the pricing is competitive."
