It's fine but not stellar
What do you like best about the product?
Documents are organized all in one place. There is an ability to organize into folders. It's great that grades are available for tracking progress and double checking teachers records.
What do you dislike about the product?
Navigation can be a little confusing. There is more than one place to go to get to the same page and sometimes I can't remember where I am and have to start over. Also, I wish it would open to my current class instead of me having to navigate to it every time. Class metrics are hard to find.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm a student.
Social Media for Business Course
What do you like best about the product?
A-synchronistic course work and video lectures meant I could work at my own pace and fit the assignments around my job and business launch. I was never worried about keeping up and just completed the steps as I was ready to actually use the strategy or tool in my new business. No wasted effort "just practicing". Also the course provided a great overview that will help with future planning for tools like google+
What do you dislike about the product?
Interface for saving items was a bit clunky and I used Evernote instead.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Social media marketing --creating a plan and coordinating for my business launch. One benefit is using a tool to schedule postings and also post across platforms, which is a bit time saver. I also appreciated the guidance on WHAT to post WHERE.

D2L Brightspace Review
What do you like best about the product?
User friendly. Especially easy for students to operate. Easy grading tools.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm always getting hit with the monthly updates - primarily being on the west coast makes it start at 10pm on a Saturday.
I would like to be able to embed photos and graphics more easily.

Distance Learning algebra classes as well as file and discussion and gradebook for face-to-face
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to copy-edit shells from term to term.
What do you dislike about the product?
Gradebook -- less dynamic than Excel, hard to weight assignments accurately unless a point system is used, hard to drop an entire category, hard to check if it is set-up correctly, ... I always download my gradebook to excel and work from there.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are addressing disabilities and accessibility of on line resources and being able to incorporate HTML5 into widgets is helpful in that pursuit.
Online Teaching - D2L
What do you like best about the product?
D2L is easy to navigate as an instructor and as a student. I like that I can customize the templates and navigation bar. I primarily use D2L in addition to my face to face courses so students have access to grades and feedback.
What do you dislike about the product?
That emails can only be accessed through logging in to the D2L site. It would be nice to have the emails forwarded to my school email.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
D2L works well for the online students and is easy to navigate.

D2L User Experience
What do you like best about the product?
D2L is easy to use even if the user has very little computer experience. The system is easy to navigate. All courses are clearly posted with easy to find sections for each portion of the class.
What do you dislike about the product?
The e-mail system could be better. I feel like it could be more intuitive with addresses. The shell isn't as easy to update as I would've liked it to be.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This is a great supplemental educational tool for use as stand alone course or to compliment on campus courses. I feel if the course shells were easier to update I might use it for more courses as a supplemental portion instead of homework from textbooks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
D2L is a great teaching companion tool for any course or when used as stand alone software for an online class. I would recommend this to any colleague who wasn't already using this system.
Sociology Hybrid Course Instructor Gives 2 Thumbs Up
What do you like best about the product?
Well oiled machine at this point. All pieces of the platform work well from both ends of the teacher-student relationship.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have no major complaints about D2L. It is a nice platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I teach sociology, and have managed to move all my evaluation and much of my "housekeeping" communications to online, non-classroom time, which means more time for our actual topics.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This software is top-shelf.
D2L Review by a Distance Educator
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ability to organize lessons into subject area modules, where I can attach lectures, handouts, videos and other media, along with external links to other teaching tools.
What do you dislike about the product?
For students uploading files to dropboxes and discussion forums is not always clear and seems to involve too many steps. A frequent problem occurs when a student attempts to upload a document, but does not click the final button to actually upload it, because it already appears as an attachment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Educating students in distance education classes.
