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

"We also use the platform for automation and adaptive learning purposes. The ability to set trigger rules that show or hide specific class sections or assignments is as optimal as possible. Because it is intuitive, it is easy to create content for students in a personalized way. And it is very intuitive for the students."

"CYPHER Learning is the main way to communicate with students. In CYPHER Learning, everything is recorded, including messages about tasks. I like that the messages are registered in the system. This way, I can keep track of students' efforts. We have a WhatsApp group and students also have my email, but I ask them to communicate through CYPHER Learning. The university administrators review teachers' data through CYPHER Learning. So, in case of any complaints, everything is registered there."

"Overall, it is quite good and has the essentials."

"Compared to other platforms, it is very user-friendly and intuitive, and both teachers and students can easily find what they need and use the functions without extensive training."

"Having the SCORM packaging and the ability to move that SCORM packaging in is my number one feature."

"I really like the fact that it's cloud-based. That means you don't have to look for updates. They happen automatically, which is great. It's also an easy, plug-and-play type of application. It is quite user-friendly and modern."

"One of the most valuable features is the ability to use private external portals through which we can sell our courses, which is enormous. This feature is one of the primary reasons we stitched from our previous LMS, as it allows us to grow and create customization. We can customize the portals within CYPHER Learning for specific clients, and that's huge."

"CYPHER Learning was the key enabler in transforming our traditional classroom-based training services to a fully digital online service providing more options to our customers and, at the same time, providing better insights to us."

More CYPHER Learning pros

"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."

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

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

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

Cons

"One thing that I wish was different was that it showed the full title in the catalog when I create something outside, such as in Articulate 360, and bring it in. When you go into the catalog title, it does not show you the whole title. If it is a long title, it will just have three dots. I wish it would just show the entire title, even if it goes into the next line so that people can see the whole title."

"Screen sorting can be improved by providing more filtering options."

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

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

"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."

"CYPHER Learning should definitely offer live video conferencing integration."

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

"If I had one complaint, it would be the reporting. It is so robust and detailed that it is hard to obtain some of the specific things that we want."

More CYPHER Learning cons

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

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We actually want to look at other systems or develop our own system because the cost point of MATRIX is so high. It doesn't feel like we get any value for it."

"It seems moderate and as per industry standards. In my previous organization, we had to hire an outside company, so I know what companies charge to do just a single course. Considering that, the price of CYPHER Learning is in the typical cost range."

"Understanding your active users, compared to total users, in terms of the plan you choose, is something to be aware of."

"For our for-profit entities, CYPHER Learning is the perfect solution in terms of cost. It is not too expensive and is about the same as what other service providers charge."

"I did not negotiate the pricing, but from what I gathered, it was a significant purchase for us at West Music. We recognize its value and potential for growth, making it worthwhile."

"It's a little bit more than I want to pay, but I'm okay with it."

"During the negotiation for our five-year contract, CYPHER Learning did an excellent job of being fair and upfront with us. We have to budget for the future and know what the solution will cost us over the next five years. That's fantastic, and the company was very accommodating and worked well with us."

"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."
