D2L Platform for online teaching
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to set up template; tabs for most used topics;News for announcements at homepage;ability to "ping" a student who is online for a quick chat. Great way to have grades and feedback readily available for students in FERPA compliant venue. Dropbox works great.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not easy to update dates for cloned classes (quarter after quarter). Should be more streamlined imo.
Fill in the blank quizzes are a real pain to grade! There should be a fuzzy algorithm to allow more accurate assessment by computer. Case sensitive isn't enough. The answer re-bar, rebar, and rebar. should all be the same. I can't type every permutation and students are put off when they are graded "incorrect" for an answer. Even if I override the grade, it still shows as a red X incorrect.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I teach community college. We use D2L for all our online classes, and we have the option to use D2L "shells" for face to face classes for data and information management. This platform is FERPA compliant, allows students to turn in homework with a "date stamp" in a secure environment accessible from anywhere, and allows grading and feedback to be attached and accessed by each student in a secure fashion. Less confusion about
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This version is much better than when I started with it in 2012.
I am a student and employee at PCC and I use D2L for online courses and training.
What do you like best about the product?
I think D2L is extremely user friendly and depends on how well a instructor engages with the software. I've found that instructors who include a wide variety of content on the site I enjoy the course more.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the design, sometimes. I feel like some links to certain areas of the site are redundant. I would also like to see a more minimalist and sleek design.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The D2L software is great for a community college such as PCC. It allows students with busy schedules to work on their own time. Its also a great alternative educational tool that draws in a large number of students.

We have made great strides in making our user interface accessible for people using Assistive Technology (i.e. screenreaders). I think that the interface layout is simple and not as confusing as some other options out there.

User interface is s a little outdated. I wish that there were a way to require all documents were accessible via OCR.
