Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • The most comprehensive LMS out there. From daily classroom tasks, to reporting, to board-wide analytics that can drill down to the student level, it does it all! Very teacher/student - centric (i.e. designed for ease of use by the teacher and student = easy to navigate, very intuitive GUI, very rich environment.) Probably the most important feature for teachers is that it has the fewest clicks to accomplish a given task... who has time for clicking through layers of panels? In the back end the administration is equally simple. It will connect to any database (they'll write custom query code if your SIS - like ours - is unique) The ability to push and pull data is critical, does all the usual SSO and interoperability things too.

Cons

  • Because it is such a rich environment there is a need for some basic education/training, especially for parents who tend not to read instructions very well :-) Edsby has a decent support site with videos etc for parents (and other roles) but I think there's a bit of information overload at first? The support is a bit hit and miss - because of the constant development of the product there is a lot going on, their developers seem overloaded at times. And, it would be nice if they had an integrated SIS for smaller schools. You do need an external data source to provision the system.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • - It gets integrated directly with Google Calendar, meet and other google application for seamless usability. - It has a great user interface which is clean and easy to navigate. - All the important class notification gets displayed at one place. - It lets you share documents and other resources with other members of the classroom.
  • I liked the ability to community quickly with students and assign work to the class as a whole. This made grading assignments easy and individualized for each student. Students can even comment and interact with each other if the teacher allows.
  • - Student of lower classes can use it easily. - Google workspace for grading and exam scheduling. - Supports Google eco-system - You can use all Google products within it.
  • I have been using for teaching student who can not visit me. There are plenty of tools to optimism the study. Teacher can control what participant can do and access. You can upload assignment and grade on the substitution as well.
  • Google Classroom has made managing classes lot easier for educational institutes, specially during pandemic days. As a Coordinator it was super easy for me to align teachers and students for virtual classes through Google Classroom.

Cons

  • - The advance features like creating quizzes and polls does not function properly.
  • At this time I do not have any cons with Google Classroom as it was a great set up for my needs.
  • For kindergarteners we need paternal presence. Improvements in grading systems is needed.
  • Compared to offline modes of study it is way better than all available resource.
  • Good application to be used through bigger screens but not a user friendly UI on small devices like mobiles and tabs.
