Brightspace and D2L are two very easy to use platforms that provide different helpful functions.

This platform is user-friendly and has a simple but effective interface. I have not encountered any problems so far.

Going back to the past pages takes a lot of clicks, it's not a big problem, but it would be great if there's a way to jump pages quickly.

Taking some higher-level courses online which are essential for college success/admissions has been possible and due to being a busy learner, I couldn’t fit into my senior year schedule.

Taking these lessons outside of school is possible, the ability to remain on track as every lesson comes with a “90 Day Plan” in the course contents, I can operate at my personal pace, and for a busy learner as myself, it has very helpful adaptability of completing the online course at my own speed.

Every now and then a tiny box that pops up warning the user that they’ll be logged out and required to login again after the session exceeds 30 minutes of inactivity when I’m working on a lesson.

It provides the option of offering courses online with all the attached study material. You can repeat them with updates as necessary without having to recreate them completely.

We can offer the training we want with a quick set up. Employee compliance monitoring is made easy through their performance tracking within the system.

Some standard reports are limited. We need to create custom reports via templates or integration. I have heard about the integrations being an issue at times but haven’t experienced an issue myself.

Organization responsiveness to client's requirements and customer service as a whole, reporting features, continuous growth of Limus, and a clean interface.

Quite bulky design and translates poorly across devices, unavailability of anticipated features, and a few parts of the software aren't intuitive.
