User-Friendly Platform with Valuable Features but Needs Improvement in Pool of Questions and Statistics

The integration with Google Workspace is great because we have many tools such as Google Meet, Google Sheets, and Google Drive. However, the space is very limited. We purchased extra space until it reached 100 gigabytes. I have been using Google since having a Gmail account in 2001 when I was a student. Google Classroom allows me to make quizzes and assignments for students with random ordering, but I would appreciate having a pool of questions feature. For example, having 1000 questions and extracting 20 for each student would allow every student to have a different version. Currently, while using quizzes, every question appears to every student, though the order might differ. Adding the pool of questions would be beneficial. Having statistics while students take their exams would be helpful - showing how many students submitted, how many are in progress, and how many have not started the quiz. Having a log file to track students who opened documents would be valuable. In Moodle, I can see which students opened files, downloaded them, or watched videos. This feature is not available in Google Classroom, which is why I prefer other applications with more powerful statistics to trace student performance.

Cons

"I would like to see a master list of documents with folder names so that it is more convenient for students to know whether they have submitted a particular document. At present, you need to go to each classroom to check what you have submitted."

"There can often be language barriers when you're not dealing with local technical support, which can be challenging."

"We found that Google Classroom is it is missing a lot in current engagement. We know it has got guardian access, where it sends the reports to the guardian at the end of either the week or the month, depending on how you set it. However, it lacks collaboration between the teacher, student, and parents. The engagement is mostly between the student and the teacher. If you have a school similar to ours, where you're dealing with little children where the parent is supposed to be engaged, you need a system that can engage them as well. It's good for senior students, but not for our students."

"The stability could be improved."

"The product's UI needs improvement."

"Google Classroom could improve by having better integration with other platforms, such as Google Meet."

"Google Classroom could benefit from tools that help correct coding errors for students, thereby enhancing learning."

"There are some websites where you can create activities and guide students to do them in a sequence. You can guide them to do an activity first and then go to the next one. You can automatically link activities, and there is a flow, but in Google Classroom, you don't have that feature. All you can do is put the material and tell students what to do. For example, I have an assignment, but I want my students to read a particular text before that. They need to tick it, or they need to click next before they start doing the activity. After that, I want them to do comprehension questions or something else. In Moodle, there are activities such as assignments, quizzes, etc. There is a lesson module in which you can put all of the activities in a flow. So, you can decide what they need to do first. If students answer a question incorrectly, you can decide and design to which page do they need to go next, and which part do they need to review. This is currently missing in Google Classroom."

More Google Classroom cons

"The flexibility and user-friendliness of the user's front end can be improved."

"The product must make the integrations more seamless."

"I am talking about SAP in general, so there are multiple screens that you have to go through, and it takes some time to get used to it."

"The only drawback of the tool is that it is dependent on its database."

"The certifications are valid for only six months."

"We encounter challenges when connecting with external systems and moving from one platform to another within SAP."

"The consultants implementing this solution could be more knowledgeable."

"It's very difficult to do simple activities using the tool, like getting a report."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Google Classroom is a free solution. There is paid version that has more options, the cost is approximately eight dollars per student per month."

"Google Classroom is free to use."

"For Google Classroom, you don't need to pay for its license because they offer free access to the platform."

"We are an educational institution, and it is free of charge for us. Normally, if you are a private company, you have to pay a lot of money to get this service, but they are giving it for free to schools."

"If you do a certain size and build, it's like any Google solution. You have to pay for storage, but you don't need to pay extra to use the interface. There may be Google Classroom partners that provide more integrated solutions, but I don't know. I'm strictly DIY."

"The tool is available for free."

"The product is free."

"I'm using a free version of Google Classroom, so it's a product I don't pay for."

More Google Classroom pricing and cost advice

"The pricing changes and the license amount is quite costly."

"Compared to Workday, SAP SuccessFactors Learning is not an expensive solution."

"My company does have to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs of the solution. My company considers the solution to be worth its price, but we don't consider it to be a cheap solution."

"The price of SAP SuccessFactors Learning could be better, it is expensive. There is an annual subscription. It's overpriced for small enterprises."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a one out of ten."
