Great resource for creating, editing, and sharing instructional videos
What do you like best about the product?
Echo360 makes it extremely easy to create videos with and without the installable application. With the introduction of their Browser Based Capture, end users can easily use the same functionality of the downloaded application without needing to download anything. The best part of these recordings is that you have a super clear side by side recording. One full window of your screen share, and one full window of your camera capture. This is very useful for faculty and students who are sharing presentations. Echo360 also includes a very basic editor that is great for quick editing funcitons.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not much I have found to dislike with Echo360. My main issue would most likely be the licensing structure. Four our industry, it goes by number of active users, which includes users who have only logged in one time the entire year. It is a cumulative number that grows the first time each user logs in.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Echo360 not only gives us a platform for video content, but it also allows us to use simple polling within the video presentations to create an active learning environment.

Echo360 is a fantastic lecture capture platform which provides exceptional customer service.
What do you like best about the product?
Echo360 is easy to use. Once the system is installed and implemented, there are relatively few issues. If an issues does arise, the support team is responsive and extremely helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes, the CSV files that are uploaded have errors which can take some time to troubleshoot.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our campus has a high percentage of student athletes. Echo360 is used to record each face-to-face classroom session so the student athletes do not miss the lecture content when they are traveling.
Echo is getting better
What do you like best about the product?
Echo360 has been steadily improving their platform, devices, and offerings. This has lead to it being one of our primary media tools for the campus. The interface is fairly easy to use, and easy to integrate into LMS courses.
What do you dislike about the product?
Echo360 has gone through some hiccups with branding and roadmaps, making big (and ultimately positive) interface changes at inopportune times, or mentioning new features and tools to be launched with no real development timelines. This can make it a challenge to keep documentation up to date. Because Echo360 can do so many things, there are a lot of ways to accomplish the same task which can be confusing to convey to users. And the company has had several shifts in support/contact representatives in recent years which have caused minor issues with support times and getting timely information.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Echo360 does lecture capture well. It gets content to students who need it either for reviewing material, or for getting content the first time because they missed it or they're taking an entire online course. It makes it easy to use for students and for faculty. It's a single platform that does the content creation, content editing, streaming, and measuring analytics.
Very Easy to revise lectures stored with Echo360
What do you like best about the product?
The UX is very seamless. Use it everytime to revise my lectures. Very easily integrated with Canvas LMS
What do you dislike about the product?
The video speed should exceed more than 2x.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps me to go through my video lectures.
Echo360 is a one stop solution
What do you like best about the product?
Although I am sure most people will talk about Echos many features here or their ease of use, but the thing that I like the most about echo is their customer support. They are happy and eager to provide live and/or online training when needed. And if there are any problems, I can always receive immediate help and support.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do wish that echo would offer a feature that would allow both instructor and students to be live on cam for a more face-to-face classroom environment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Echo360 offers a variety of features focused on student engagement and data analytics
Efficient, easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
I'm using Echo 360in almost all training sessions. It allows me to keep the audience engaged, check their emotional response, verify the acquisition of knowledge and stimulate their problem-solving skills. It is easy to use (especially with the AI question-generator), completely and smoothly inegrated into the presentation, very intuitive to use and apply. Ask the audience to scan a QR code on the screen or monitor and your'e in business, live or online. Other features allow me to create groups for competitions, contests, etc. Reporting is simple, detailed and easy to analyze. Pefect for synchronous and asynchronous training.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing essential, but I'd like to keep animations created on PPT. I mjst say that ECHO 360 team has been very attentive and responsive to my suggestions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main benefit is the audience engagment. Validating the aquisistion of essential point is done quickly and efficiently. Echo 360 frees up time otherwise spent in proigramming and design to think about the quality of interactions and how they improve the training's efficiency.
Interactive Visual Experience
What do you like best about the product?
Embedded Polls, Unlimited space, and Ease of use
What do you dislike about the product?
Slow response time from support and technical glitches with new features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Student engagement! Instructors can test their students' knowledge, and students can actively participate while watching lectures.
Integration and Simplicity
What do you like best about the product?
I like that it is integrated into PowerPoint for seamless polling through a software application I'm using everyday anyway. Once students have done there part the usage is very stable. I also like that I can upload quizzes right after class in about 2 minutes. One unexpected advantage of daily quizzes has been the ability to see who is struggling and have a pattern of performance (attendance, scores, etc.) when engaging in correction or intervention. I use a few of the advanced features at times, but even just sticking with the basics has become a strength of the class. The energy rises when the bar graph shows 50/50 on a true/false. Sometimes I reveal a winner, sometimes I will quickly repoll and say "convince someone your right!" and more often than not the correct answer comes in at a higher percentage.
Customer support has generally been strong over my time using the program. New student videos for how to register have come in timely manner. In addition, I've literally sent problem session files and had experts help me out. I've used it for many years and have never felt like I've been left without a solution.

What do you dislike about the product?
I'm sure everyone has there wish list of additional features. My current top three are to be able to set a session value instead of just a question value so I could consistently say that each daily quiz is 15 points. Currently it depends on how many questions I ask or I need to manually adjust each question. Secondly, I wish it could scatterplot but that may be a PowerPoint limitation. Finally, I wish it would tell me who is answering in the room vs. remote. I do want sick students to stay home, but I'd like to be able to see any patters of concern.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I teach dense material (research methods) in a large enrollment setting (N=120) to students who don't think they'll need it. I needed frequent perception checks, assessments and incentives for attendance. Echo does all of these. Some questions are sources of humor as well as assessing comprehension. Others focus on being hard because the particular content is hard, but the quiz reveals a "difference that makes a difference." I also often allow collaboration which fosters community in a large class.
Point Solutions for the Flipped Classroom
What do you like best about the product?
I use PointSolutions for most all my class sessions. The ability to gather student feedback in real time is crucial to ensuring student understanding while fostering active engagement. I love how it integrates with Canvas allowing for quick grading. As someone who uses Peer Instruction for most of my sessions, Anywhere Polling is my product of choice after using many different options.
What do you dislike about the product?
I like that the desktop applications get an upgrade on a regular basis but this does mean that I need to coordinate the update with our tech team for our classroom tech carts. This can occasionally cause an issue if I don't plan ahead.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I needed a way to privately view student responses in real-time to determine overall understanding of a concept. This allows me to repoll questions without students being swayed by seeing the answers of their peers. This fosters much better discussion time and engagement from students while allowing me to adapt my session time to the most misunderstood concepts.
Excellent academic technology for higher education.
What do you like best about the product?
Reliability of lecture capture and customer service.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes, trying to do too much. Less bells and whistles and more core functionality. Primary focus should be lecture capture and polling.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Lecture capture and in classroom polling.
