Good software for both students and instructors

I have used these on both ends of the spectrum, as a student and instructor. The software is easy to use, has a small learning curve and is compact with all needed information and data for instructor and student. As a student, I found using the different activities to increase my memory of the material covered.

Quick, Easy to Use Textbook and Curriculum Portal

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

This portal is easy to use and doesn’t contain extra bulky items that are not needed, and the ones it does have are tucked off to the side in a collapsible bar or in an icon row. The activities and quizzes that it utilizes are straightforward and work well.

Cons:

The quiz function is a little outdated looking and jumps when changing questions. Seems a little unprofessional, but it works just fine.
