Instead of hiring more staff, we can leverage the data and reports to provide the analysis we need to make our next move in student engagement, faculty needs as well as staff processes.

Positive: We are able to use the system campus-wide for most of our student, faculty, and staff needs. It's nice to have one product that can handle most of our day-to-day activities.

Negative: The most challenging things about the system is that many of the canned reports need customized in order to use efficiently. Customizations can be difficult and time consuming to get completed.

Support is difficult to secure timely.

Summary: It allows for us to store all of our data in one system. It allows for many employees to pull up the data and run reports without having a designated person to perform these actions like in the past.

Positive: As a district librarian, I appreciate the global capabilities that can align all of the schools in my district. I like the ease of use. Overall, I have had great customer service experiences, as well. As a tool that we use daily, it is a common language that we can all share. The business office staff likes that that can use the various features to do things like assign fines for most of the departments in the district.

Negative: With the changes at OpenEduCat and the split between content and software, there is a noticeable difference in the support aspect. For the price, I am aware the many districts in my state are seeking alternatives and choosing to use other library management software. I am sure that we are not too far behind, especially since adding something like Resource Manager would be something that most district cannot afford.

Summary: It helps me communicate lesson plans, learning goals, success criteria, and assessments. Through it, I can communicate with staff, students, parents, and the whole school community. It is a place of connection and a way to build community as a whole school.

Positive: I love the integration with our current student information system and OpenEduCat's willingness to work with us to find solutions to our integration gaps.

Negative: The lack of customization within our own environment which is completely understandable when dealing with a product of this size.

Summary: We use OpenEduCat primarily to offer courses to students; we also use OpenEduCat to house our program review and curriculum management processes. OpenEduCat helps us organize information and have a centralized place to direct students, faculty, and admin to work through key processes. Because OpenEduCat is so easy to use it has been a breeze to train all users on using the system.

Positive: Easy to set up and implement system, user friendly, great for repository of information; easy to train faculty and students; can add institutional branding, can use for variety of things such as courses, program review, student workspaces, faculty workspaces, curriculum management, etc.

Negative: Does not have all of the functionality of more robust LMS systems, doesn't offer many customization tools, layout is a bit archaic; importing and exporting courses take several steps and the process is very clunky. Customer Support is lacking and takes a great deal of time to get answers for issues.

Summary: We have digitised our education development progamme for teachers in rural areas with the intention of easy scaling to cover more schools

Positive: The flexibility of the platform is catering for different organisational needs. We are a development organisation with several programmes, some of which do not even fit the learning part, such as workshop facilitation or discussion forums, and with the features and the ability to integrate with other platforms, we are still able to support learning, collaboration, etc. It is also easy to use by our beneficiaries and internal teams, and with the support of an expert service provider, Open Learning Technologies, it was easy to drive our programmes and thus implement without many challenges.

Negative: Without internal technical expertise, it requires dependency of a service provider and this may be costly, even if it is open access.

Summary: For what its designed to do, its an effective tool that is used almost ubiquitously throughout college campuses. That probably won't be changing any time soon.

Positive: Active tracking of assignments and deadlines is easy to do. All of my classes were consolidated in a single web portal, so I could access assignments and documents from any location, even my smart phone. I think that the forum options are the most useful as a tool for class discussion.

Negative: The user interface can be buggy, and often experiences formatting errors and update delays. It is not particularly intuitive organizationally, but that could have to do with the way it was set up.

Summary: Keeping all resources for classes organized and easily accessible and the same for keeping all curriculum support organized and easily accessible.

Positive: We use this in 2 ways: first we use it for individual classes. Teachers can provide lesson resources and lesson activities in an organized manner. Students can access these resources at all times and it is very easy for the teachers to upload, organize, and save everything. As a teacher I use it at least weekly for my classes especially for longer assignments or providing additional resources for students.

We also use it for professional support. My school district uses it to share the curriculum resources (daily lessons, assessment blueprints, year and unit plans, etc) with all the teachers. It is also easy to organize and access the previous year's curriculum in the same group.

Negative: Some of the outside resources do not integrate seamlessly.

Summary: OpenEduCat has helped take the students that had spent a year attending school virtually and transition to a technology-based classroom. I have found a place where grades are automatically uploaded, notes are easy to access, and students can confidently navigate

Positive: OpenEduCat was intuitive enough to set up a classroom without having to read a user guide. I appreciated the ability to color-code folders so that students and I could easily ascertain which folder I needed in a unit.

Negative: One downside of OpenEduCat is that it does take a while to get familiar with. I had to attend various meetings, watch youtube videos, and speak with many teachers to feel confident on the LMS. However, after doing so, I used some really neat tricks that I use every day!

Summary: It is like a powerpoint only that better. My students can go over the lesson that we have previously studied and strengthen and sharpen their skills.

Positive: You can upload a wide variety of materials, including documents, videos, and resources, and share them with your students at any time, making learning more accessible and convenient for everyone.

Negative: I cannot think of a downside. Everything is everything I can long for.
