NEO LMS Software

I have been a long time user. I have provided tech help to other teachers in my school and district.
The platform continually improves.
I am a big proponent of NEO.

Pros

Customer service is stellar. They implement feature requests. Response and fixing issues is fabulous.
Don't be afraid to ask for help. Granted you should try to read the Help section first, but their tech help is fast and friendly.
This year I am 99% paperless and Neo makes this possible.
Students and parents can easily access info.

Cons

The seat chart has a lot of potential for improvement.
Tip for new users: click on gear icons for user configuration.
Whenever I am frustrated, I always let them know and they rectify the situation.

So much help and ideas to create interactive and customizable learning paths.

Pros

As an eLearning Designer, I truly appreciate personalized features and prices! Cypher Learning is one of my favorite companies in the industry right now. And offering special prizes and features for education is a must!

Cons

As amazing as its features are, sometimes it can get overwhelming. Too many options and not all teachers or schools have the real experts to make the best of it. Anyhow, the users manual you can download and the many tutorials available are very helpful.

Organization, quality material, grades, variety of languages, forums

Pros

Organization, everything is clear and easy to find, it permits to you optimize your time
Quality material is very good and professional videos, lectures, quizzes, etc. is in excellent quality
Grades are easy to find and see all of them
Languages, are a lot of languages available to set your environment and profile
Forums to ask and discuss with your classmates or with the teacher

Cons

Price, I didn't pay anything but my teacher pay for have the course available there
Registration, I have to find a username and password. It will be better if you use student mail account.

Pros

Integration of this LMS to our private-school process passed without any problems, bugs or stuff like this, everything was very smooth and not less important fast, we did not need to discuss the details, responsibility and stuff like this, the supporting team helped us to implement everything, understand how everything works and explained all that we needed very prompt. This is the very beautiful system with bright colors which just erase the old ideas of black-and-white studying, now everything is colorful and funny.

Cons

In my opinion, this system is more suitable for the students about sixteen-eighteen years old and less, and for example that materials for students from universities may not fit in this system, but it is just my humble opinion, for our school everything is more than great:)

Pros

Very easy to use educational platform. I liked NEO LMS in use, I did not find any problems with this software. I like that students can easily use this program, that the tracking system works quickly and there is an opportunity to enter the phone. I have an excellent opportunity to create a quality education system that helps students learn. I'm completely satisfied with this workflow. I've been working with this platform for a long time every day. I had the opportunity to make the learning system unique, and my research is much better and more productive. It is convenient to work with all the useful skills that I and students need. I created courses for students so that they can save their time and receive information in an accessible form.

Cons

I believe that this is the best management system for training. The only thing I would like is to add some functions like a extended webinars.

Pros

You can easily organize the entire learning process with NEO LMS. Basically very good service for training. Excellent integration with third-party services, such as Google and Turnitin. An interesting function of the skills, because of this, learners are more motivated and know that they have much to grow.

Cons

I sometimes did not receive a notification about repeated sending homework from some peoples. I would like to receive more information about the process, I need more reports.

Pros

- Flexibility of how much of the entire systems potential you want to use.
- Pleasant interface is easy to use for people of all ages.

Cons

- Mobile App is virtually equivalent to using a phone browser and is not always very mobile-friendly.
- There's still a general clunky feeling to the whole interface (even on desktop). Slightly improving the aesthetics can go a long way.

Productivity! This product allows me to be more effective in what I do and profess.

Pros

NEO has it all! I've a course creator and content integrator since 1996 and I can create academic solutions for an entire region, district and schools. NEO allows me to measure student performance across each boundary and create a community of learning among all stakeholders. NEO has very powerful tools that goes beyond the regular institution administration and operation, this is a holistic education tool!

Cons

As an educator and technology user in the classroom need to have off-line capability so in countries like mine where electricity is not a constant student can keep working while there is no connectivity and resume once they are back within the range of our net coverage.

Pros

As an administrator, I like the ability to synchronize enrollments using API. I also appreciate that with Enterprise Plan I can now re-activate archived users myself.

Cons

I would like to have choice to select from more roles for our users, or even better - to have a role which can be customized. We need stronger Monitor or weaker Admin account.

We get interactivity with the kids and the ability to both do teacher-led and self-paced activities. The adding of standards to assignments and quizzes and the ability to see a master wheel for each student is incredible. The gamification features work perfectly for our gaming and coding focused middle school.

Pros

The ability to apply standards to assignments and quizzes and see mastery wheels for each student based on those standards is FANTASTIC! With our focus on gamification, we can award badges and points, set up leaderboards and more! It's perfect for the unique, highly personalized learning that we focus on in our school.

Quick start-up; easy to archive past classes; smooth integration of flipped classroom materials into the system.

Pros

Ability to give access to adjunct staff, off-site, and cross department staff to create courses. Nice canvas for creating leasson. Customer support is very responsive and good!

Cons

The online documentation is too simplistic. There needs to be some more advanced documentation for power users or administrators. The options for setting up and administering tests could be improved.

Pros

It inculcates many features that transfers the real life classroom into an LMS portal. The last seen sessions of students, the various assignment formats and clear grading system are what I love the most.

Cons

It is very complex to be used, it needs a lot of practise and support to get the actual knowledge of.

Just an excellent tool to manage the teaching and learning environment - and cost effective as well

Pros

It's easily accessible for students and faculty. The grading system and blogging sites are excellent.

Cons

The cutoff for student cost is high.

Pros

I like the user interface. The help features and guides are excellent and have helped my staff with the set up of our courses. It is end-user friendly and has been a great tool for instructors and students.

A learning management system that provided the options that we needed when we first started using it almost 4 years ago.

Pros

I love how clean the interface is. It is very easy to manage or navigate around. Parents and students have found using this system is intuitive and very user friendly!

Cons

One con comes to mind and that is the lack of features available to the Small Schools package. There should be a tier introduced that is between the Small School and Enterprise that allow a few more features for smaller schools that cannot afford the Enterprise package to be able to us or offer some sort of al-la-carte for all the features offered on the Enterprise package.

It allows us to connect with students who otherwise would not participate in Religious Education.

Pros

This allows us to offer an alternative to our gathered program. It gives the students an experience that might even be better than the kids have in class, while still connecting with people from the parish who are responding to and commenting on their work. Making the classes really fun, involving and creative was much easier than I had expected!

The price is perfect. Students and Teachers advise me of the ease of use and the aesthetic appeal of the LMS.

Pros

The ease of use, the visual appeal and the ability to customize the LMS to reflect individual schools.

Cons

It would be wonderful if discussions could have peer reviews and liking. In addition, if there were more options for the type of test questions such as drag and drop.

Flexibility, stability. Ease of use.

Pros

The flexibility it provides for designing online and blended courses. Ease of use as admin and instructor. Students love it. Great customer support.

Cons

I am happy with the software. As an administrator I would like to have the ability to re-activate student accounts.

One place for all our curriculum assignments, resources, etc. and easy access (at home & school) from different devices.

Pros

Customer Service is excellent. They are responsive to suggestions and customer requests. It is customizable for the school, and it has served our students and teachers well.

Cons

Would be nice to have a drag-n-drop capability for some of the pages. For example, I can easily add a new web resource but it won't necessarily be in alpha order.

We use NEO LMS for short online continuing education courses. Almost never students make question about the navigation and funcionality. The organization is as pedagogical as it can be. Rubrics are an espectacular tool to give feedback to the student participation in forums, discutions, debates and other tasks. We make all the presential and hybrid classes complete paperless, and the full online students enjoy the liberty of learning on the go.

Pros

User friendly.

Cons

We like to have dual dates for the task that have multiple parts.

Advice to Others

We like to have dual dates for the task that have multiple parts.

Bill only for the students active in active and current classes, not in the archived ones. That makes posible not to make compulsory archive a student, and the if he has to take another class, we dont have to write to the support forum to unarchive this student.
