itslearning Reviews

Pros

We used the itsLearning platform to launch our new suite of hybrid programs and the platform really served its purpose. The integration of O365 was extremely useful so students were not forced to have multiple screens, and by design became a one-stop shop for us. From the student perspective it is really easy to use and navigate, and opportunities to design pages that were more interactive and included learning paths were invaluable to ensure scaffolding of learning and skills practice could be achieved before moving on. From an admin/teacher perspective the platform was really easy to use and adding new content/students was simple (even for any novice). The tracking of student engagement was also extremely beneficial and insightful for ensuring immediate intervention. We had no need to integrate other apps but the implementation team were more than helpful to support activities, and I have no doubt would support any customer in future.

Cons

The platform does exactly what we needed it to do and there are no recommendations to provide. However, if you are considering itsLearning, what I can say is how regular the communications team send new updates and they are always looking to improve and remain up-to-date with sector needs more widely.

Pros

Easy to reproduce courses year to year and have a record of what was taught.

Cons

See specific feature review .The rich text boxes could be more user friendly.Drag and drop and Dropbox integration would be nice.

Pros

All my classes were on here and I used it mostly to turn in assignments.

Cons

There's not a lot of information you can put on in. I used it in high school and was switched to blackboard in college. I like blackboard way more. Itslearning never worked on the school wifi and it was always down. I feel like it has a lot of bugs that need to be worked out.

Pros

I really love the usability andnall the features. itslearning makes my life so much easier every day.

Cons

Sometimes, there are minor bugs, and the support couldn't always solve the problem fast.You can post own ideas for improvement on the ideas portal, but aren't always lucky enough, that your idea is picked for development. For instance, I really miss the opportunity to make checklists.

Pros

easy of use: checking attendance of my students in other courses, setting up groups, supplying them with digital material, using asynchronous testing capabilities, easy of contact to colleagues, students and staff

Cons

None that come to mind; we are not missing any critical tools or functions at the moment

Pros

The interface and how it really saves time for both teachers and students. The collaboration with Google is also very important.

Cons

Sorry to say I can't think of any thing right now.

Pros

Easy to use for both teachers and students. It is easy to navigate and change, and there are many opportunities to adapt and develop the content to different needs.

Cons

Creating reports to get good statistics to use for follow-up for principals is not simple. Here we usually need to use support.

Pros

You can easily concentrate everything needed for learning and teaching in one place. Learning hub.

Cons

itslearning is suitable for all school levels, but sometimes that "middle ground" can also be a disadvantage.

Pros

Back in 2009 we were tired of the same-old, same-old we saw with North American providers and went looking in Europe and Asia to see what others were doing. We have used it for 8+ years and from the beginning (2009) it had key features that the other LMS providers here in North America lacked or charged extra to have included.

Example: Recording voice and video directly into the WYSIWYG editor. That transformed discussion boards. Exam questions could be delivered by voice or video. Student could answer similarly. The ePortfolio feature was included and not an extra integration and fee.

We actually had to turn off some features because we thought it would freak out instructors - like the feature that enabled any instructors from other organizations to enter your course, look around and ask you if they could use parts or all of it.

The point is that in 2009 this crew was ahead of its time and they have continued to add well thought-out improvements to the LMS 3-4 times annually. We are going to renew.... if they still want us.

Cons

It`s time for a new discussion board (as long as we don`t lose the audio/video record features) and more flexibility with how we can integrate 3rd party apps and features as we choose (cough, cough... Zapier... cough, cough).

Pros

The best from itslearning is the course templates with content and learning objectives ready to use.

Cons

It doesn't have too many gamification functionalities. So, students, teachers, and parents should have the opportunity to play their role gaming.

Pros

Initially the product was perfect for us. As time goes by, other modules who we needed was missing or not a part of the product. Its learning has developed new modules along the need we have, but the pace or speed for these could be faster.

Cons

That it doesn´r support the lower grades in swedish school. More suitable for higer levels of education.The licensing, when a small overdraft occurs, the "penalty is a larger number of licenscost.

Pros

Itslearning is very easy to use and has good tools for analysing course data. It has multiple different tools and functions to choose from. The company listens its customers and constantly improves the product.

Cons

The older, outdated functions sometimes cause trouble.

Pros

It is quite easy to get a grip. Familiarty feeling with the itslearning office i Malmö. Short time for support issues.

Cons

I'd like to see a sort of "green light" if the participants are online. Maybe some more integrated digital functions, i.e. recording lectures within instead of using PowerPoint.

Pros

Ease of use, simple course management. Good integration with external software's.

Cons

Reporting side could be better in some instances.

Pros

Possibility to develop future tools, allows visual overview

Cons

A bit complicated to install and get starten, lack of modell.

Pros

An easy-to-use platform with lots of possibilities. The planning tool helps to get a good overview of the course. I really like the Office 365 integration. The mobile app is also appreciated by the students. The support works great and the product is continuously developing.

Cons

The automated integration with student info system can take some time to configure but fortunately the support works well.

Pros

Visit the website and you'll see different page cards that help you navigate to the course quickly. ItsLearning also offers ClassLink, which you can use to find the class easily. I also really like the planner page because I can see when I have a deadline. Moreover, you can contact your teacher by message if you have questions. The table also indicates the type of tests/projects due next to the plans. The dashboard is pretty intuitive and lets me go about my day. It is also possible to take quizzes through the settings, and it provides multiple choice or response options.

Cons

There isn't much information you can put in it. As a high school student, I used it, and as a college student, I switched to Blackboard. Blackboard is my favorite. School WiFi always caused problems with itslearning. The program needs to be updated. It always crashes when the server is down. It seems that North American support is going away. But it won't be seized elsewhere. Additionally, old messages should not be placed in a separate column in the messages section.

Pros

I like that the product enables me to add a variety of resources, including meetings, embedded material, videos, links to warm ups, etc.

Cons

I do not like that the site has so many different areas where information can be found- Overview, Plans and Resources. So students can navigate away and with at home learning, it's difficult to get them back, especially for those who have a challenge with technology.

Pros

I enjoy that students and I have a common place to connect for learning. We use the calendar to stay on task and we use the message feature to stay in contact. I am able to share resources with all learners and curate collections of learning materials for the learners to access as they wish. What I need the most as a teacher is time. Itslearning is so convenient to use that it gives me back the time that I need to be creative and enjoy the other aspects of my day!

Cons

I look forward to itslearning becoming more and more user-friendly as developers work closely with educators to meet our unique needs.

Pros

Easy to sign on to and that is about it.

Cons

It is often difficult to upload assignments and exam taking is a total disaster. After writing the exam, the results are not uploaded. This program could be so much better.

Pros

It is a true end-to-end LMS system with far advanced capabilities compared to bigger-named competitors

Cons

Some inconsistency in user experience - some dated visualizations - certain areas are over architected and could benefit from simplicity in ease-of-use

Pros

This software works and does exactly what it is suppose to do and does it every time. It is accessible and has a ton of features. I can use it to easily make, distribute and grade assignments for my classes and those features work really well. There are also a ton of other options that all work exactly as claimed and are very functional.

Cons

It isn't the most intuitive program for students to use. A lot of time there are needless steps to get to features or they are repetitive. For example, I don't see much value between the groups and classes options as they are kind of the same thing.

Pros

It is hands down the most powerful and versatile tool that we evaluated when deciding to choose a LMS. There is an enormous amount of features and functionalities that are possible to use, and the company worked with us to prioritize some must-haves into their upcoming releases. They have excellent customer support and are always helpful when we submit inquiries.

Pros

I like the instant messaging feature which allows students to ask questions outside class.

I also like the ease of editing content.

Cons

Would like to be offered more tutorials so that I better understand the features of itsLearning

Pros

itslearning is a platform where students can keep being in communication with their teachers. Assignment deadlines can be followed, grades can be checked, announcements can be made and attendance can be followed. It is basically a virtual classroom that makes the class more digitized and efficient.

Cons

While submitting assignments, there's only upload as a template. I wish I could upload an assignment and set a time for it to upload automatically. That way I could make more changes if necessary and wouldn't forget to submit my template assignment before deadline.
