Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Brightspace has a lot of options for what you can do with it. There's a dropbox for students to upload assignments, forums, access to email, a calendar you can update with due dates, a gradebook, a place to organize notes/videos for classes, and an announcement section. Classes a teacher is teacher and that a student is attending each semester will be displayed on the main page and are accessible from a dropdown menu. There's also the ability to have online tests done in a locked down browser to minimize cheating and you can connect to Collaborate for live class sessions. Teachers and other administrators can also view their classes from "student view" to see how it will look on the students' end.

Cons

  • Setting up tests and forum posts can be finicky, and sometimes fail altogether. Once in the system, there shouldn't be any major issues with signing in, but new users is another story. Those just setting up an account can expect to potentially be locked out of Brightspace for days at best or weeks at worse when first being brought into the system. At the start of the semester, classes may not all load and how past semesters are displayed can also be glitch, displaying the wrong time period or hiding current classes. Forum posts sometimes will display for some or none of the students despite the teacher doing everything right on their end, and odd things like changing the deadline by a few days for a post sometimes fix these issues for no apparent reason. Emails are also flakey. Some semesters, it's more reliant than the main school email system, some times it's not. There's never any way of knowing until the semester has already begun.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • - Codecademy not only teaches about the topics, but gives a hands-on coding experience along with the documentation. - The quiz's difficulty ascending rate is not too fast so that the user can understand the topic thoroughly. - There is a dedicated coding pad on the interface, so the user can solve the given problem without having to switch to any other screen. - The user interface of the platform is designed well and gives a modern vibe. - There are several paid as well as free courses available on the platform. - After completion of every course, they provide a completion certificate that can be linked to LinkedIn.
  • This software has many options for students who wants to study online coding and get degree/certificate. There are many good teachers who helps you to understand the topic properly. Interface of this software is very clean and easy to understand. In this pandemic I didn't want to waste my time and thus I am learning coding.
  • - I like how Codecademy has a side by side teaching screen and a console to promote learning by doing and yet not overwhelming the student.
  • Intuitive & easy to use interface. Easy to follow courses with a DIY approach. Free to use. Great quizzes for assessments. Real world projects for practice.

Cons

  • - There isn't any cons that I have found in my close to two years usage.
  • There are few cons like: There are ads sometimes. Codecademy should focus more on bringing more new courses, some of the classes are not up to date.
  • - I think Codecademy didn't do enough to keep up with the plethora of options out there to learn to program.
  • There should be a downloadable version for offline access.
