Pros/Cons
Pros
- This application is very user friendly and straight to the point, which is very helpful for someone like me who is not the most computer savvy.
- Polished software with a multitude of features makes this an outstanding "investment.
- It was nice and gave me a chance to study again, it fit on my schedule and i like it.
Cons
- The problem I feel with D2L is that many professors I take misinterpret certain features which lead to sometimes very confusing Classroom UI's that are difficult to navigate.
- I have taught online for over a decade and used multiple different platforms, and I am sorry to write that this is by far the worst program I have ever used. Editing tools are not named well.
- I do not believe anything is missing with Brightspace.
Pros
- What I liked most about this software was how easily accessible the classes were for me and how user friendly it was.
- Google classroom is the best and more effective application available for learning activities. I am impressed with this application it helps to do lots of tasks.
- Overall it is a good product, supports most common functionalities and all other google products like docs and sheets which are very helpful in organizing materials and assignments.
Cons
- Its take a while to understand how to use the software and sometimes if the wrong button is click you may be charged for audio through mobiles.
- Sometimes, a student's assignment is marked "missing" when it has been turned in. That makes grading more confusing for the teacher.
- Android application and also web platform sometimes crash, it is a bad experience for both user and admin.
