Brightspace Review

PROS: I find it very easy to navigate around Brightspace. Layout texts and tabs are very simple. I enjoy how easy it is to upload files and arrange them orderly.

CONS: It would eliminate any sort of communication confusion if it could integrate with Outlook and take in messages and contacts from the latter.

PROS: For someone who has multiple classes, I find the app very useful and really easy to use. It integrates very smoothly with all my classes into one calendar. It also allows downloading and uploading of documents which make it serve as a file storage.

CONS: Some of my students experienced glitches with the exams part. I also feel a little downtime plus it often takes you to many web pages before reaching the homepage.

PROS: I have leveraged Brightspace as a uni student and a professional and I am glad to say it was beneficial in the efficient function of both. The hyperlinks are very convenient and you can move around the software with breeze.

CONS: It took me a few weeks to fully understand all the functions but it was worth it in the end.

PROS: Brightspace alerts you on deadlines, events, meetings, and other important activities.

CONS: I hope it could give users a firmer control over the notification settings.

PROS: I appreciate that its main page is the calendar, which is the most important base for me in deciding which task to first work on. I think anyone, even beginners to digital tools, would find Brightspace's interface easy to navigate and learn.

CONS: It should focus on streamlining, particularly removing sections that are redundant.

PROS: Brightspace is an efficient software where you can create a complete module for different classes. You can upload them with a few clicks and students even in different departments could immediately receive them.

CONS: I needed to create another login to access Brightspace.

PROS: It integrates seamlessly with other online teaching tools and materials that I use for my class. It is very easy to use once you have a full grasp on the interface.

CONS: I just hope it could integrate more materials. It still fails to do so with some so I am left with transcribing grades manually.

PROS: I enjoy the mobile version as I usually study through my phone. The click-to-show-answer feature is very helpful in my review.

CONS: The mobile app version is still lacking in a few key features, for instance, it still cannot read some files or even cannot find them.

PROS: It has an excellent functionality for tallying and adding up grades.

CONS: It takes quite a while to get a hang of. It requires multiple clicks in getting from one page to another. In all, the learning time and movement within the interface can be reduced.

PROS: Brightspace is an essential in management as it helps you effectively track employees' performance, share project documents, and regularly receive relevant updates. I especially like the fact that you can access all these through a mobile phone.

CONS: Learning how to access all the features of the software, and optimizing its use, takes a little time. The language offers and document keeping have more room for improvement.

PROS: You will surely fall in love with Brightspace even at the outset with its user-friendly layout. I am particularly enjoying Brightspace's Desire2Learn program which seems to offer everything I need: assigning tasks, grading, scheduling, communicating with students, everything!

CONS: I hope it could update the system so it can better incorporate real-life, on-the-ground needs. There are some features that still factor in traditional elements of teaching, like keeping track of seating arrangements.

PROS: The interface is very simple and highlights the elements students mostly click on. Beyond the application make-up, the company is very hands-on with its clients. The other day, representatives from Brightspace were at our uni, gathering feedback on how the app can improve further.

CONS: I just wish that at the outset Brightspace could give a comprehensive guide on its features as I only stumble upon a few midways that I didn't think was there in the first place, such as activating a notification that will alert you when you have a new message from your uni email. In past apps, I used to have those features at default.

PROS: Learning the interface was intuitive, required zero external help. And when I mastered how to maximize using Brightspace, everything just fell into place.

CONS: The mobile app has quite a different vibe that it's hard to appreciate it as a product of Brightspace.

PROS: The interface is easy to understand. I abhor apps with overwhelming layouts and text so I appreciate Brightspace's modern simplicity. It's like another Linkedin, only this one is more specific to educational purposes.

CONS: Zero.

PROS: Brightspace came to me at a time I was adapting to higher education teaching. Amazing that it provided resources I had overlooked adding to modules. All its help I could access through my mobile and with just a few clicks.

CONS: Some categories are redundant.

PROS: Brightspace's organization strategy is pooling in all important resources, such as assignments and grading into a single centralized system and then segmenting them neatly into categories.

CONS: There are some textbooks it's system cannot integrate into its own. When that happens, I have to contact the book publisher and fixing the problem takes a while. It also doesn't remember logins so I to have to login every single day.

PROS: Its user-friendly interface makes learning the entire app intuitive.

CONS: My colleagues and I have encountered a few errors but they don't really affect our overall management and performance.

PROS: I study better using digital materials so I have tried a lot of learning apps and Brightspace is the best so far. Its most valuable feature is on communication. My teachers can readily help me through this app. I can submit papers on time and my teachers can upload whatever materials they want to provide.

CONS: It's not consistent in successfully uploading documents.
