Pros/Cons
Pros
- Satisfied with all that it offers and it can do, easy setup and great stability of platform.
- It is a good app to use and very useful - learning is always easier and more fun if you have a user friendly app.
- I currently use Moodle both as a student and as an administrator for one class. Both have their benefits, and it is easy to see why Moodle is a great fit for the job.
Cons
- Many features exist and are ignored which is a shame, besides some times using Moodle on falls on pages not configured because they were not explored.
- It crashes a lot and after a period of use the application of the error. Due to the very frequent use of online classes, it has fallen a lot the whole time.
- In discussion threads I think it is somewhat annoying that there is no single option to open all responses. Instead you have to go through and click into each one.
Pros
- It's super flexible, easy to use, has amazing accessibility and I would definitely recommend it.
- The Canvas guides, videos, Community and help desk are really fabulous. Being able to access the answer to development questions 24/7 is a game changer for motivated learners.
- I love that I can see my employees progress on assignments and test, as well as they can see their progress. It is easy to use for both myself and employees.
Cons
- I hate that there is not an autosave feature, specially when building quizzes. More than once, I accidentally save the quiz without saving the individual question and loose a ton of work.
- The color theme of even and odd Courses seems weird. The odd courses are shown in a faded color which gives the illusion of inactive course.
- The calendar function is especially bad. There are also times where it is very frustrating to navigate around the People section.
