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.

Cons
